Chapter 13.3, Problem 13.4CQ
A large insect impacts the front windshield of a sports car traveling down a road. Which of the following statements is true during the collision?
- a. The car exerts a greater force on the insect than the insect exerts on the car.
- b. The insect exerts a greater force on the car than the car exerts on the insect.
- c. The car exerts a force on the insect, but the insect does not exert a force on the car.
- d. The car exerts the same force on the insect as the insect exerts on the car.
- e. Neither exerts a force on the other; the insect gets smashed simply because it gets in the way of the car.

If object 2 is initially at rest, then u2=0. Then v1−v2=−u1. However, for a partially elastic collision the relative velocity after the collision will have a smaller magnitude than the relative velocity before the collision. We can express this mathematically as v1−v2=−ru1, where r (a number less than one) is called the coefficient of restitution. For some kinds of bodies, the coefficient r is a constant, independent of v1 and v2. Show that in this case the final kinetic energy of the motion relative to the center of mass is less than the initial kinetic energy of this motion by a factor of r2. Furthermore, derive expressions for v1 and v2 in terms of u1 and r.arrow_forward
