A ball of mass m moving with velocity v⃗ i strikes a vertical wall as shown in (Figure 1). The angle between the ball's initial velocity vector and the wall is θi as shown on the diagram, which depicts the situation as seen from above. The duration of the collision between the ball and the wall is Δt , and this collision is completely elastic. Friction is negligible, so the ball does not start spinning. In this idealized collision, the force exerted on the ball by the wall is parallel to the x axis.What is the magnitude F of the average force exerted on the ball by the wall?
A man whose mass is 80 kg and a women whose mass is 50 kg sit at opposite ends of a canoe 5m long, whose mass is 30kg. (a) Relative to the man, where is the center of mass of the system consisting of man, women, and canoe? (Hint: choose a specific coordinate system with a specific origin.) (b) Suppose that the man moves quickly to the center of the canoe and sits down there. How fr does the canoe move in the water? Explain your work and your assumptions.
Given two balls, each of mass m, traveling together at speed v, what is the total linear momentum of this two-ball system? What is the total kinetic energy?
B.If the balls from the previous question strike three stationary balls (as in your previous tests), what is the total linear momentum of the ball(s) that are in motion after the collision? What is the total kinetic energy?
C. Is it possible for two balls (mass m each, speed v) to strike a line of balls and have a single ball (mass m) “scatter” from the other end of the line with twice the speed (speed 2v)? What would be the momentum of the single ball? What would its kinetic energy be?
