Answer to Problem 13.182P
velocities of A and B just after the impact if :
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Mass of A is
Mass of B is
Conclusion:
The total linear momentum of two particles is conserved. Therefore:
The co-efficient of restitution is defined as:
The principle of conservation of energy is defined as.
When a particle moves under the action of conservation of forces. the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy of that particle remains constant.
Calculation:
Let
Apply conservation of linear momentum while block is sliding down.
Therefore.
Apply conservation of linear momentum at impact.
Therefore.
Assume.
According to conservation of energy.
