Chapter 13, Problem 38AP
Review. Two identical hard spheres, each of mass m and radius r, are released from rest in otherwise empty space with their centers separated by the distance R. They are allowed to collide under the influence of their gravitational attraction. (a) Show that the magnitude of the impulse received by each sphere before they make contact is given by [Gm3(1/2r − 1/R)1/2. (b) What If? Find the magnitude of the impulse each receives during their contact if they collide elastically.

A 4.00 kg mass (mass 1) moves to the right with a speed of 3.00 m/s and collides with a 2.50 kg mass (mass 2) moving to the left with a speed of 1.50 m/s. Assuming the col- lision is elastic, what are the velocities of the first and second masses following the collision?
A. mass 1: 2.01 m/s to the right, mass 2: 1.43 m/s to the right
B. mass 1: -0.46 m/s, mass 2: 4.04 m/s to the right
C. mass 1: -1.05 m/s to the left, mass 2: 2.05 m/s to the right
D. mass 1: 1.81 m/s to the right, mass 2: 1.24 m/s to the right
A thin metal rod of mass 1.8 kg and length 0.9 m is at rest in outer space, near a space station (see figure below). A tiny meteorite with mass 0.08 kg traveling at a high speed of 210 m/s strikes the rod a distance 0.2 m from the center and bounces off with speed 60 m/s as shown in the diagram. The magnitudes of the initial and final angles to the x axis of the small mass's velocity are θi= 26° and θf= 82°.
Afterward, what is the velocity of the center of the rod? (Express your answer in vector form.)
Afterward, what is the angular velocity ω→ of the rod? (Express your answer in vector form.)
In the figure, two satellites, A and B, both of mass m = 49.1 kg, move in the same circular orbit of radius r = 7410 km around Earth (mass ME = 5.98×1024 kg) but in opposite senses of rotation and therefore on a collision course. (a) Find the total mechanical energy EA+ EB of the two satellites + Earth system before the collision. (b) If the collision is completely inelastic so that the wreckage remains as one piece of tangled material (mass = 2m), find the total mechanical energy immediately after the collision. (c) Just after the collision, is the wreckage falling directly toward Earth’s center or orbiting around Earth?
