Two objects of masses m and 8m are moving toward each other along the x-axis with the same initial speed
v0 = 525 m/s.
The object with mass m is traveling to the left, and the object with mass 8m is traveling to the right. They undergo an elastic glancing collision such that m is moving downward after the collision at a right angle from its initial direction.

What is the final speeds of the two objects m and 8m?

What is the angle theta at which the object with mass 8m is scattered? ( counterclockwise from the x-axis)

Expert Solution

In order to calculate the final velocity of the masses we have to use the conservation of momentum for both x and y axis .then putting all values we can find the final velocities.

A particle moves along the x axis. It is initially at the position 0.200 m, moving with velocity 0.140 m/s and acceleration -0.410 m/s2. Suppose it moves with constant acceleration for 5.50 s. We take the same particle and give it the same initial conditions as before. Instead of having a constant acceleration, it oscillates in simple harmonic motion for 5.50 s around the equilibrium position x = 0. Hint: the following problems are very sensitive to rounding, and you...
