(a) Explanation Given information: The velocity ( v 0 ) of ball before the impact is 4 m / s . The velocity ( v A ) of ball after the impact is 1.92 m / s . The distance a is 1.65 m . Calculation: Calculate the velocity ( v A ) 0 of ball A before impact. ( v A ) 0 = v 0 i (1) Substitute 4 m / s for v 0 in Equation (1). ( v A ) 0 = 4 i Since the ball at B is initially at rest, the velocity of ball B before impact is, ( v B ) 0 = 0 Since the ball at C is initially at rest, the velocity of ball C before impact is, ( v C ) 0 = 0 Calculate the velocity of ball A after impact using the relation: ( v A ) = − v A j (2) Substitute 1.92 m / s for ( v A ) in Equation (2). ( v A ) = − 1.92 j Calculate the velocity of ball B after impact using the relation: v B = ( v B ) x i + ( v B ) y j Here, ( v B ) x is velocity of ball B along x direction and ( v B ) y velocity of ball B along y direction. Calculate the velocity of ball C after impact using the relation: ( v C ) = v c i According to the linear momentum is conserved. v 0 = v A + v B + v C (3) Here, v A is velocity of ball A after impact, v B is velocity of ball B after impact, and velocity of ball C after impact. Substitute − 1.92 j for v A , ( v B ) x i + ( v B ) y j for v B , and v c i for v C in Equation (3). v 0 = − 1.92 j + ( v B ) x i + ( v B ) y j + v c i Write the i components vectors as follows: 4 = 0 + ( v B ) x + v C ( v B ) x = 4 − v C Write the j components vectors as follows: 0 = − 1.92 + ( v B ) y + 0 ( v B ) y = 1.92 Find the velocity of ball C using the conservation of energy as follows: 1 2 v 0 2 = 1 2 v A 2 + 1 2 v B 2 + 1 2 v C 2 1 2 v 0 2 = 1 2 v A 2 + ( 1 2 ( v B ) x + 1 2 ( v B ) y ) 2 + 1 2 v C 2 (4) Substitute 4 m / s for v 0 , 1 (b) To determine Find the hitting point C ′ on the side of the table.

In a game of billiards, ball A is given an initial velocity v0 along the longitudinal axis of the table. It hits ball B and then ball C , which are both at rest. Balls A and c are observed to hit the sides of the table squarely at A, and C, respectively, and ball B is observed to hit the side obliquely at B, .Knowing that v0 = 4 m/s, vA = 1.92 m/s, and a= 1.65 m, determine (a) the velocities vB and vC of balls B and C , (b) the point C, where ball C hits the side of the table. Assume frictionless surfaces and perfectly elastic impacts (i.e., conservation of energy).

Two spheres, each of mass m, can slide freely on a frictionless, horizontal surface. Sphere A is moving at a speed v0 = 16 ft/s when it strikes sphere B which is at rest, and the impact causes sphere B to break into two pieces, each of mass m/2.a) Knowing that 0.7 s after the collision one piece reaches Point C and 1.17 s after the collision the other piece reaches Point D, determine the velocity of sphere A after the collision.b) Knowing that 0.7 s after the collision one piece reaches Point C and 1.17 s after the collision the other piece reaches Point D, determine the angle θ and the speeds of the two pieces after the collision.

3. A bomb which is initially at rest explodes into three fragments. Fragment A of known mass ma moves at a known angle of 8 measured clockwise with respect to the positive y-axis with a known speed |val. Fragment B of unknown mass (but let's call it m3 ) moves at a known angle o measured counterclockwise with respect to the negative x-axis with a known speed |is|. A third fragment C of known mass mc moves off along the negative y-axis with an unknown speed (let's call it |vc]). Only the forces between the fragments are significant during the collision. a. Draw a diagram that shows the initial and final states of the bomb fragments. Label the velocity vectors and known angles. b. Define what you would like to include in your system. c. Write a Newton's 2nd Law equation for this system. d. Determine the speed of fragment C and the mass of fragment B in terms of the known quantities.
