Two titanium spheres approach each other head-on with the same speed and collide elastically. After the collision, one of the spheres, whose mass is 200 g, remains at rest.

(a) What is the mass of the other sphere?

(b) Assume that the initial speed of each sphere was 2.2 m/s. What is the speed of the two-sphere center of mass?

Two 1.0 metric ton cars crash into each other. Both collide head-on, and each was travelling 27 mi/hr when the collision occurred. The wreckage is at rest after the collision. How much thermal energy was gained by the cars and road in the collision? (in case you are worried, these were driverless vehicles with no passengers inside! Recall that a 100 W lightbulb uses up 100 Joules of energy in 1 second. If there was a way that the thermal...

Two particles approach each other with equal and opposite speed v. The mass of one particle is m, and the mass of the other particle is nm, where n is just a unitless number. Snapshots of the system before, during, and after the elastic collision are shown above. After the collision the first particle moves in the exact opposite direction with speed 2.40v, and the speed of the second particle is unknown. What is the value of n?

Consider a completely elastic head-on collision between two particles that have the same mass and the same speed.

Consider a completely elastic head-on collision between two particles that have the same mass and the same speed. What are the velocities after the collision? The magnitudes of the velocities are the same but the directions are reversed. One of the particles continues with the same velocity, and the other reverses direction at twice the speed. Both are zero. One of the particles continues with the same velocity, and the other comes to rest. More information is required to determine the final velocities.

required info: Question 1: Rebel without a cause Two drivers speed head-on toward each other and a collision is bound to occur unless one of them deviates at the last minute. If both deviate, everything is okay (they both win 1). If one deviates and the other does not, then it is a great success for the driver with iron nerves (he wins 2) and a great disgrace for the deviating driver (he loses 1). If both drivers have iron...

Two identical pucks collide elastically on an air hockey table. Puck 1 was originally at rest; puck 2 has an incoming speed of 7.96 m/s and scatters at an angle of 30° with respect to its incoming direction. What is the velocity (magnitude in m/s and direction in degrees counterclockwise from the +x-axis) of puck 1 after the collision? (Assume the +x-axis is to the right.) Magnitude: Direction:
