Chapter 3.2, Problem 2fT

For motion 2, draw vectors in region II of the enlargement that represent the initial and the final momentum of the ball. Draw these vectors using the same scale that you need for motion I (i.e., the relative lengths should represent the relative magnitudes). Use these vectors to construct the change in momentum vector Δ p for motion 2.

How should the direction Δ p compare to the direction of the net force on the ball as it rolls down the ramp? If necessary, modify your diagram to be consistent with the impulse-momentum theorem.

On a very muddy football field, a player of mass m₁ tackles a second one of mass m2 = 3m₁/2. Immediately before the collision, player 1 is slipping with a velocity of v₁ due north and player 2 is sliding with a velocity of v2 = 2v1 due east. 3a. Sketch the situation, placing careful labels, and write formulae for the initial momenta of the two players. Might want to chose a coordinate system that will help you figure out how to add together these momenta. 3b. What is the magnitude of the total momentum of the system of these two players before they collide? 3c. What are the magnitude and direction of the velocity at which the two players move together immediately after the collision? 3d. Calculate the loss of kinetic energy associated with this collision.
Use vectors to solve the following problems.  Both cars weigh 1500 kg.  Use the scale 1 cm = 1,000 kg x m/s.  Assume all collisions to be elastic and sticking. Draw a picture represents the problem too. The first car is travelling at 20 m/s east.  The second car is travelling at 30m/s north. Using vectors draw to scale the component vectors and the resultant from their collision. Then solve using your trigonometric functions. Also: use Pythagorean Theorem
Given practice problem with answer key but having a hard time solving it:  Answer for part c: 0.71 m/s In a game of pool, the cue ball strikes the black 8 ball and sends it into the cornerpocket. The cue ball initially travels at v = 1 m/s in the x direction. After the collision, the 8ball makes an angle of θ = 45◦ with the x axis and is traveling at a speed v2. The cue ball is nowmoving at an unknown angle θ1 with respect to the x axis at a speed v1. You may assume thatthe balls have the same mass and that the collision is elastic. (a) Write the expression for energyconservation. (b) Write equations for momentum conservation. (c) Find the final speed of the 8ball
