Use the worked example above to help you solve this problem. Two billiard balls of identical mass move toward each other as shown in the figure. Assume that the collision between them is perfectly elastic. If the initial velocities of the balls are v1i = +25.2 cm/s and v2i = −20.3 cm/s, what are the velocities of the balls after the collision? Assume friction and rotation are unimportant. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) v1f = v2f =
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.
Show your solution. Two cars, 100 apart, are about to collide. The cars, X & Y, are running at constant speed of 60kph &80 kph, respectively. a.) Illustrate the velocity vectors of the cars and formulate the equations. b.) What is the speed (in kph) of car Y observed on car X? c.) How many seconds will they collide?
