Chapter 8, Problem 26SP

A billiard ball moving at a speed υ 1 i strikes, head-on, another billiard ball that is at rest. Assuming the collision is completely elastic, show that

υ 1 i 2 = υ 1 f 2 + υ 2 f 2

A bowling ball onboard a space station is floating at rest relative to the station and an astronaut nudges a Ping-Pong ball toward it at speed v, initiating a perfectly elastic headon collision. Which answer is closest to the Ping-Pong ball’s speed after the collision? (a) 0 (b) v/2 (c) v (d) 2v (e) 3v
An object A moving with velocity v collides with a stationary object B. After the collision, A is moving with velocity 2 1 v and B with velocity 3 2 v. Find the ratio of their masses. If, instead of bouncing apart, the two bodies stuck together after the collision, with what velocity would they then move?
Starting with equations m1v1 =m1v′1 cos θ1+m2v′2 cosθ2 and 0 =m1v′1 sinθ1+m2v′2 sinθ2 for conservation of momentum in the x- and y-directions and assuming that one object is originally stationary, prove that for an elastic collision of two objects of equal masses, 1/ 2mv 12 = 1 /2mv′12+1 /2mv′22+mv′1v′2 cos( θ1−θ2).
