In an elastic collision of two particles with masses m1 and m2, the initial velocities are u1 and u2 = u1. If the initial kinetic energies of the two particles are equal, find the conditions on u1/u2 and m1/m2 such that m1 is at rest after the collision. Examine both cases for the sign of .
If two particles have equal kinetic energies, are their momenta equal?
If two particles have equal kinetic energies, are their momenta equal? a. Yes always. b. No never. c. Yes, as long as their masses are equal. d. Yes, if their masses and directions of motion are the same. e. Not unless they are moving perpendicular to each other.
In an elastic collision of particles, one particle is stationary and another one is moving to the particle at speed u. After colliding, particle 1 and 2 moves at two different velocity, say v1 and v2. Why is the angle between v1 and v2 must be 90 degrees if the resulting particles and the initial particles all have the same mass?
Two particles approach each other with equal and opposite speed, v. The mass of one particle is m, and the mass of the other particle is nm, where n is just a unitless number. Snapshots of the system before, during, and after the elastic collision are shown. After the collision, the first particle moves in the exact opposite direction with speed 2.95v, and the speed of the second particle, vnm(final) , is unknown. What is the value of n?
Rock A of mass M and another rock B of mass 2M are released from a height h above the ground. Upon impact which relationship correctly states the momenta of rocks A and B?
A bullet of mass m and speedv passes completely through a pendulumbob of mass M as shown inFigure P6.64. The bullet emergeswith a speed of v/2. The pendulumbob is suspended by a stiff rod oflength , and negligible mass. Whatis the minimum value of v such thatthe bob will barely swing through acomplete vertical circle?
a particle of mass .260kg moves head on with a velocity .534x+.374y m/s toward a second particle of mass .486 kg placed on a smooth horizontal table. here x and y are unit vectors along the x and y axis. the collison is completely inelastic. the energy lost in this collision is?
The conservation of momentum tellsus that the momentum of a system ofinteracting particles must remain constant ifthere are no outside forces. However, whentwo cars collide head-on, they can almostinstantly come to rest (and crumpleunfortunately). This system is essentiallyisolated since the only important interactionsare between the two cars. How can youreconcile these two observations?
Two blocks of masses m 1 and m 2 approach each other ona horizontal table with the same constant speed, v 0, as measuredby a laboratory observer. The blocks undergo a perfectlyelastic collision, and it is observed that m 1 stops but m 2 movesopposite its original motion with some constant speed, v.(a) Determine the ratio of the two masses, m 1/m 2. (b) What isthe ratio of their speeds, v/v 0?
In a ballistic pendulum demonstration gone bad, a 0.55 g pellet, fired horizontally with kinetic energy 3.35 J, passes straight through the 400 g Styrofoam pendulum block. If the pendulum rises a maximum height of 0.55 mm, how much kinetic energy did the pellet have after emerging from the Styrofoam?
A 9.50-g bullet, moving horizontally withan initial speed v0, embeds itself in a 1.45-kg pendulum bob that isinitially at rest. The length of the pendulum is L = 0.745 m. Afterthe collision, the pendulum swings to one side and comes to restwhen it has gained a vertical height of 12.4 cm. (a) Is the kineticenergy of the bullet–bob system immediately after the collisiongreater than, less than, or the same as the kinetic energy of thesystem just before the collision? Explain. (b) Find the initial speedof the bullet. (c) How much time does it take for the bullet–bobsystem to come to rest for the first time?
