Chapter 9, Problem 96PP
You’re interested in the intersection of physics and sports, and you recognize that many sporting events involve collisions—bat and baseball, foot and football, hockey stick and puck, basketball and floor. Using strobe photography, you embark on a study of such collisions. Figure 9.31 is your strobe photo of a ball bouncing off the floor. The ball is launched from a point near the top left of the photo and your camera then captures it undergoing three subsequent collisions with the floor.
FIGURE 9.31 Passage Problems 94-97
The component of the ball’s velocity whose magnitude affected by the collisions is
- a. horizontal.
- b. vertical.
- c. Both are affected equally.

A 0.14 kg bead slides on a straight frictionless wire and moves with a velocity of 9.5 m/s to the right. The bead collides with a larger 0.12 kg bead that is initially at rest. After the collision, the smaller bead moves with a velocity of 0.73076923076923 m/s. (use many decimal points in your answer in order to make sure you get it exact)
a.What is the large bead's velocity after the collision?
b.What is the total kinetic energy of the system of beads after the collision?
c.What was the total kinetic energy of the system of beads before the collision?
Consider two comically-large hockey pucks, each with mass 10 kg, on frictionless ice. Puck A is initially moving to the West at 4 m/s towards puck B, which is initially stationary. The pucks collide head on. After the collision, the pucks stick together and move as one object with a common velocity.
How much kinetic energy (in joules) is lost in this collision? Justify your answer using your rationale and equations used.
