- A tennis ball is projected toward a smooth surface with speed v as shown. Determine the rebound angle θ′ and the final speed v′. The coefficient of restitution is 0.70.Assume θ = 54°.arrow_forwardA ball of negligible size and mass m is given a velocity of v0 on the center of the cart which has a mass M and is originally at rest. If the coefficient of restitution between the ball and walls A and B is e, determine the velocity of the ball and the cart just after the ball strikes A. Also, determine the total time needed for the ball to strike A, rebound, then strike B, and rebound and then return to the center of the cart. Neglect frictionarrow_forwardThe 15-Mg tank car A and 25-Mg freight car Btravel toward each other with the velocities shown. If the coefficient of restitution between the bumpers is e = 0.6,determine the velocity of each car just after the collisionarrow_forward
- Block A of mass 5kg is moving with a velocity 5m/s. it then hit block B of mass 2kg moving at a rate of 2m/s moving in the same direction. If the coefficient of restitution between A and B is 0.2, determine the initial and final velocities of the blocksarrow_forwardThe three balls each weigh 0.4 lb and have a coefficient of restitution of e = 0.75. If ball A is released from rest and strikes ball B and then ball B strikes ball C, determine the velocity of each ball after the second collision has occurred. The balls slide without friction. Please explain the stepsarrow_forwardtube A expels a 0.5 kg ball with a horizontal velocity Va = 2 m / s. Determine the horizontal distance R at which the smooth inclined plane hits. If the coefficient of restitution is e = 0.6, determine how fast it bounces off the plane at B. Make the free-body diagramsarrow_forward

Determine the total drag due to air friction on the airplane.arrow_forwardAn engineer is studying the impacts of frontal car collisions on the occupants.If a 1900-lb car with velocity vA = 30 mph collides head on with a 2800-lb car with velocity vb =20 mph, the coefficient of restitution of the impact is e = 0.15, then determine the velocities ofeach car after the collision. Assume car A and car B are on a flat surface, with car A traveling tothe right and car B traveling to the left.arrow_forwardTwo cars traveling with the velocities shown collide at an intersection The coefficient of restitution is 0.2 for the impact, and the contacting surfaces are frictionless.
