- A 2-kg object moving to the right with a speed of 4 m/s makes a head-on, elastic collision with a 1-kg object that is initially at rest. The velocity of the 1-kg object after the collision is (a) greater than 4 m/s, (b) less than 4 m/s, (c) equal to 4 m/s, (d) zero, or (e) impossible to say based on the information provided.arrow_forwardIn 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 .arrow_forwardCheck Your Understanding What is the physical difference ( or relationship) between dmdt and dmgdt in this example?arrow_forward
- (a) If the impulse experienced during the collision is 200 Ns, use the information in the plot to calculate the peak force experienced during the collision. (b) Calculate the average force experienced during the collision.arrow_forwardAssume: Moving to the right is positive.A(n) 6.9 g object moving to the right at 20 cm/s makes an elastic head-on collision with a 14 g object moving in the opposite direction at 34 cm/s. Find the velocity of the 14g object after the collision.Answer in units of cm/s.arrow_forwardA molecule with a speed of 300 m s-1 hits the wall of the container at an angle 40∘ with the normal and rebounds with the same speed. During the collision is the momentum conserved? Is it an elastic or an inelastic collision?arrow_forward
- Two particles of 4 kg and 2 kg, respectively, move on a surface without friction in opposite directions with speeds of 10 m / s and 2 m / s, respectively; a totally inelastic collision occurs. A) Calculate the speed of the set after the collision. B) Calculate the kinetic energy of the assembly after the collision,arrow_forwardCan any real collision ever be truly perfectly elastic? Why or why not? (You should think about this in two ways: first consider what effects of the environment surrounding the collision might have on energy and momentum conservation; second, consider the objects themselves – how must an object react to a collision in order to be considered "perfect"?).arrow_forwardA ball of mass 2 kg moving with a velocity of 8 ms collides head-on with another ball of mass of 4 kg moving with a velocity of 2 ms moving in the same direction. The collision is elastic and the coefficient restitution is e = 0.5. (a) Find the velocities of the balls after the collision. (b) Calculate the loss of kinetic energy due to collision.arrow_forward
- Molecules in a spherical container make wall collisions in a great circle plane of the sphere. All paths traveled between collisions are equal in length. (a) Relate the path length Al to the angle 0 and the sphere radius r. (b) Express the component of the molecular momentum transferred to the wall in a collision in terms of the molecular mass m, the speed v, and the angle 0. (c) Using parts (a) and (b), calculate the average force exerted on the wall by one molecule. (d) Derive the relation PV = PV = } Nmv² for a spheri- cal container. This is the same relation found for a rectangular box in Section 9.5.arrow_forwardTwo balls of mass 30 gram and 90 grams are supported by strings 100 cm long. The larger ball is pulled aside until its center of gravity has been raised 5 cm and then released. Assuming the collision to be perfectly elastic, find the velocity of each ball after the collision. Show the figure/fbd, given and formula used.arrow_forward(1) Consider a 0.62kg basketball that is dropped from a height of 1 meter above the floor. (a) If the collision the basketball is completely elastic how high would the ball rise after bouncing off the ground? (b) If the ball's collision with the ground is not completely clastic, what could you say about the maximum height that ball reaches after the bounce? (c)Calculate the change in momentum of the ball if the collision with the ground is perfectly clastic (d) Find the average force acting on the ball during a collision of 20s duration.arrow_forward
