In a laboratory experiment, an electron with a kinetic energy of 50.5 keV is shot toward another electron initially at rest (Fig. P11.50). (1 eV = 1.602 1019 J) The collision is elastic.

In a frame at rest with respect to the billiard table, a billiard ball of mass m moving with speed v strikes another billiard ball of mass m at rest. The first ball comes to rest after the collision while the second ball takes off with speed v in the original direction of the motion of the first ball. This shows that momentum is conserved in this frame. (a) Now, describe the same collision from the perspective of a frame that is moving with speed v in the direction of the motion of the first ball. (b) Is the momentum conserved in this frame?

Two solid iron spheres of masses m and 2m respectively, are suspended from two inextensible ropes of length l. We separate the ball of mass m from its equilibrium position at an angle α, keeping the string extended in the same plane. The mass is released and collides elastically with the sphere of mass 2m. The speed of the sphere sphere of mass m immediately after the collision is:
Hi, con you help me with this problem please? A mass M is released from a height H, it strikes a a mass m = 1.5M. If the impact is perfectly inelastic, find the maximum height the system gets and the energy loss in the collision. Thanks
Two particles approach each other with equal and opposite speed, v. The mass of one particle is m, and the mass of the other particle is nm, where n is just a unitless number. Snapshots of the system before, during, and after the elastic collision are shown. After the collision, the first particle moves in the exact opposite direction with speed 0.750v, and the speed of the second particle, vnm,final , is unknown. What is the value of n?
.An object of mass m traveling at speed v crashes into another object of mass 2m that is at rest. If the collision is perfectly inelastic, what is the speed of the combined objects after the collision?
