Observer A sees a moving charged particle collide with a stable stationary particle. The collision causes the stationary particle to break into two particles which move off afterward. To observers in other reference frames, O The same laws of physics hold, so the energies and momentuma are the same. O The beeakup of the particle may precede the collision. O The collision always precedes the breaking of the particle. O The stationary particle may not be stable.

In a perfectly inelastic one-dimensional collision between two objects, what initial condition alone is necessary so that a the system is gone after the collision? O The objects must have momenta with the same magnitude but opposite directions. medi ume O The objects must have the same mass. O The objects must have the same velocity. O The objects must have the same speed, with velocity vectors in opposite directions. AC
For an isolated system where two masses collide in two dimensions (2D), check all TRUE statements: Piy = Pfy J = 0, since the x and y components cancel each other out. If the masses collide in 2D, the collision must be inelastic. Pfx =Pix If the collision is inelastic, the final momentum, Pf, can be derived by the vector addition of the momentum vectors of the two masses prior to collision.
Object 1 of mass m₁, moving with a velocity v₁ collides with object 2, mass m2 at rest. If object 1 and 2 have equal masses (think of a billiard cue ball colliding with an object ball), which of the following is true after collision? O Object 1 will bounce back with half its original speed while object 2 will remain at rest. O Object 1 will stop while object 2 will be moving with a velocity equal to v₁. O Object 1 will bounce back with half its original speed while object 2 will move with a speed 0.5v1. O Object 1 will be moving with half its original speed while object 2 will be moving with a velocity equal to v₁.
Vahé and Nicolás, both with mass M, are playing catch with a football of mass m on the frictionless surface of a frozen pond. Since they're physics professors and not professional football players, they can only throw the football with a speed vo be only in terms of m, M, and vo- relative to themselves. All of your answers below should (а) Relative to a stationary observer on the surface of the pond, what is the speed v, with which the football is moving after it is Vahé throws the ball to his right, toward Nicolás. m M V |NM thrown? (b) Nicolás catches the ball. What is the speed v, with which Nicolás and the ball are moving after he catches the ball?
Two identical blocks of mass M = 2.60 kg each are initially at rest on a smooth, horizontal table. A bullet of very small mass m = 20 g (m << M) is fired at a high speed v. = 120 m/s towards the first block. It quickly exits the first block at a reduced speed of 0.40 v, then strikes the second block, quickly getting embedded inside of it. All the motion happens on the x-axis. (a) find the speeds of the two blocks after their encounters with the bullet. (b) Now the first block catches up with the second one and collides with it. They got stuck together afterward and move forward. Find their common speed V after the collision. (c) The two blocks now hit a light spring of spring constant k = 35 N/m mounted on the wall. How far is the spring compressed before the blocks reach a momentary stop?
In the four momentum treatment of relativistic particle collisions or decays, The mass of a particle is different for various observers. O Momentum and energy are still conserved in any inertial frame of reference. O The energy equals the sum of the momentum, pc, plus the mass, mc2. O The momentum and energy for a process are the same in all frames of reference.
