Chapter 13, Problem 38AP
Review. Two identical hard spheres, each of mass m and radius r, are released from rest in otherwise empty space with their centers separated by the distance R. They are allowed to collide under the influence of their gravitational attraction. (a) Show that the magnitude of the impulse received by each sphere before they make contact is given by [Gm3(1/2r − 1/R)1/2. (b) What If? Find the magnitude of the impulse each receives during their contact if they collide elastically.

Bryce, a mouse lover, keeps his four pet mice in a roomy cage, where they spend much of their spare time joyfully scampering
about on the cage's floor. Bryce tracks his mice's health diligently and just now recorded their masses as m₁ = 0.0145 kg,
m2 = 0.0141 kg, m3 = 0.0245 kg, and m4 = 0.0105 kg.
At this very instant, the x and y components (Ux, U,) of the mice's velocities are, respectively,
(U₁x, U₁₁y) = (0.591 m/s, -0.425 m/s,) (v2.x, U2,y) = (-0.605 m/s, -0.933 m/s,) (v3,x, U3,y) = (0.259 m/s, 0.305 m/s), and
(V4x, V4,y) = (-0.211 m/s, 0.569 m/s).
Calculate the x and y components px and py of Bryce's mice's total momentum.
Px =
kg.m/s
Py =

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.
