Textbook Question
Chapter 9, Problem 113GP
Suppose two asteroids strike head on. Asteroid A (mA = 7.5 × 1012 kg) has velocity 3.3 km/s before the collision, and asteroid B (mB = 1.45 × 1013 kg) has velocity 1.4 km/s before the collision in the opposite direction. If the asteroids stick together, what is the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the new asteroid after the collision?

- Two skateboarders, with masses m1 = 75.0 kg and m2 = 65.0 kg, simultaneously leave the opposite sides of a frictionless half-pipe at height h = 4.00 m as shown in Figure P11.49. Assume the skateboarders undergo a completely elastic head-on collision on the horizontal segment of the half-pipe. Treating the skateboarders as particles and assuming they dont fall off their skateboards, what is the height reached by each skateboarder after the collision? FIGURE P11.49arrow_forwardInitially, ball 1 rests on an incline of height h, and ball 2 rests on an incline of height h/2 as shown in Figure P11.40. They are released from rest simultaneously and collide in the trough of the track.
