5. Two shuffleboard disks of equal mass, one orange and the.other green, are involved in a perfectly elastic glancing collision. The green disk is initially at rest and is struck by the orange disk moving initially to the right at voi = 7.75 m/s as shown below. After the collision, the orange disk moves in a direction that makes an angle of 0 = 36.0° with the horizontal axis while the green disk makes an angle of o = 54.0° with this axis as shown below.

A head-on, elastic collision occurs between two billiard balls of equal mass. If a red ball is traveling to the right with speed it and a blue ball is traveling to the left with speed Sv before the collision, what statement is true concerning their velocities subsequent to the collision?

(b) The red ball travels to the left with speed v, while the blue ball continues to move to the left with a speed 2v. (c) The red ball travels to the left with speed St, while the blue ball travels to the right with speed v. (d) Their final velocities cannot be determined because momentum is not conserved in the collision. (e) The velocities cannot be determined without knowing the mass of each ball.
Starting with equations m1v1=m1v1cos1+m2v2cos2 and 0=m1v1cos1+m2v2sin2 for conservation of momentum in the x- and y -directions and assuming that one object is originally stationary, prove that for an elastic collision of two objects of equal masses, 12mv12=12mv22+mv1v2cos(12) as discussed in the text.
A tennis ball of mass 57.0 g is held just above a basketball of mass 590 g. With their centers vertically aligned, both balls are released from rest at the same time, falling through a distance of 1.20 m, as shown in Figure P6.45. (a) Find the magnitude of the basketballs velocity the instant before the basketball reaches the ground. (b) Assume that an elastic collision with the ground instantaneously reverses the velocity of the basketball so that it collides with the tennis ball just above it. To what height does the tennis ball rebound? Figure P6.45
Two blocks of masses m1 and m2 approach each other on a horizontal table with the same constant speed, v0, as measured by a laboratory observer. The blocks undergo a perfectly elastic collision, and it is observed that m1 stops but m2 moves opposite its original motion with some constant speed, v. (a) Determine the ratio of the two masses, m1/m2. (b) What is the ratio of their speeds, v/v0?
