In a perfectly elastic collision, in addition to momentum always being conserved, the kinetic energy is also conserved. To solve this problem in general is a large and complicated algebra exercise. See the figure below for a definition of the variables in a perfectly elastic collision: masses m₁ and m₂ are moving at initial speeds u₁ and u2 before a collision occurs. After the colllision of m₁ and m2, the masses are moving at final speeds v₁ and ₂. before collision U₁ ▼ m₁ m₂ Part A U₂ m₁ V₁ + after collision For a 2-mass system where m2 = (5/3) m1, u₁ = 4 and u₂ = -6 (a head-on collision), find the final speeds v₁ and 2. m₂ Enter the answers for v₁ and 2 as comma delimited values. For example, if v₁=3 and ₂ = -4, enter the answer as "3,-4" (without quotes)

Two lonely soccer balls in outer space feel nothing but their mutual attraction. In the beginning they have a distance of 20 km and a mass of 440 g with a diameter of 22 cm. What is each ball’s momentum just before they collide as potential energy is converted into kinetic energy?How large are the accelerations of the balls when they start moving and just before they collide? Find the acceleration as a function of distance a(r). Compute the times they would travel before they collide according to the initial and final accelerations. How large are the balls’ velocities just after the collision if the collision was elastic and if the collision was (fully) inelastic?Γ = 6.67 ∙ 10^−11 m^3 /kg∙s^2
A cannonball has an ejection velocity of 800 m/sec compared to a fixed cannon. Now we mount the gun on a carriage and neglect the friction forces. Let's assume that the gun-cart system has a mass of 2000 kg and that the balls have a mass of 10 kg; we have 5 balls on the cart. What will be the speed of the cannon and the first ball, with respect to the ground ? What will be the speed of the gun carriage relative to the ground after it fires the second ball? What will be the speed of the second ball relative to the ground?
For an isolated system where two masses collide in two dimensions (2D), check all TRUE statements: Piy = Pfy J = 0, since the x and y components cancel each other out. If the masses collide in 2D, the collision must be inelastic. Pfx =Pix If the collision is inelastic, the final momentum, Pf, can be derived by the vector addition of the momentum vectors of the two masses prior to collision.
I am asked this question "Compute the Power when both mass and velocity are changing in time. (First rewrite KE(t) showing the time dependence, then compute d(KE)/dt." I can get this to the point where there are similarities between my equation and the power equation. What I have right now is (v^2)/2 + vma I am not sure what I did wrong but I think that it is in the first few steps. What do I need to do to fix this problem?
can someone please do all sections of this question? show it step by step please and don't miss a part pleaseeee You get frustrated with your physics homework and you throw a blob of clay of mass m at a speed of vi at an angle of θ to the horizontal at your physics book of mass M that is sitting, sadly unread, on the floor. The clay sticks to the top of the book and the system slides a distance x along the floor before coming to a stop. a) State and justify whether or not linear momentum is conserved for the clay+book system i) in the x (horizontal) direction and ii) in the y (vertical) direction. (Hint: draw a sketch of the situation). b) Derive an expression for the coefficient of friction between the book and the floor in terms of the given quantities m, M vi,, θ, g, and x. c) Compute μk for m=65.0 g, M=1.50 kg, θ =30.0, vi = 20.0 m/s, d = 6.20 cm.

A person is standing with a backpack on a bridge and is going to do a bungee jump. He is very scared and takes small steps until he becomes unstable and falls forward. (see figure) We make a simplified model of the situation where we think thatthe person has an even mass distribution and the width xp = 30 cm The backpack also has an even mass distribution and the width xs = 20 cm. Assume that all movement (in the fall) occurs only vertically. We also assume that the elastic acts as an ideal feather. Ignore air resistance. The elastic has a length (equilibrium length / rest length) of 15 m andthe spring stiffness is 250 N / m. The person who jumps has a mass of 80 kg and the backpack has a mass of 25 kg, while the elastic is massless. Consider the person with the backpack as a rigid body Q. Question a) What is the position x0 to Q as he becomes unstable and falls off the bridge? In the following, we consider the situation after the person has fallen from the bridge. Now assume that…
Once again we have two sliders, masses m and m, on a horizontal air-track, so negligible horizontal forces, and vertical forces add to zero. The right hand mass is travelling to the right at speed v, being followed by the other at speed 3v. A spring between them guarantees an elastic collision. After the collision, what are the velocities of the two sliders? Hint: what is the frame of reference that makes this into an easy problem? Speed of left hand mass after the collision Speed of right hand mass after the collision, Please enter your answer in terms of the initial speeds of the two sliders and please enter very simple expressions for the two speeds separated by a comma.
