In an momentum experiment involving the collision of two metal balls.... one at rest and the other that has an initial velocity moving in a projectile path, how would you determine the maximum height of the ball that is hit? Also, how do you find the velocity of the projectile (initially moving) ball just after the collision? Thanks!

Here momentum will be conserved in both direction, x - direction as well as y direction. So we have two equations for momentum conservation. We can use a third equation for elastic collision. Kinetic Energy will be conserved if the collision is elastic. We can use these three equations to find the velocities just after collision. After finding velocities, we can apply kinematics equation for finding maximum height or time taken,

An experiment involving perfect inelastic collision is conducted: two carts with velcro strips are placed on a track attached to a motion sensor. One cart is stationary and the other is pushed slightly towards the cart such that it attaches to the cart that is stationary (via. velcro). Given the following data of the experiment, what is the expected final velocity of the moving object? Compare the expected final velocity to the actual measured one, then determine what the percentage...

A novelty collision device known as the executive toy consists of five identical metal balls. When one ball swings in, after multiple collisions, one ball swings out at the other end of the row of balls. When two balls swing in, two swing out; when three swing in, three swing out, and so on-always the same number out as in. Suppose that one ball, with mass m, swing in and collide with the next ball with a velocity v. Why...

Now consider the collision represented in the animation below. Let's assume that the two balls are sliding on a frictionless, horizontal surface. Do not assume that this collision is elastic (though it might be). Here's what's given: The direction of +x is to the right.The blue ball has twice the mass of the red. Let's make them mb = 2 kg and mr = 1 kg. The red ball is initially stationary. The initial velocity of the blue ball, vbi,...

Elastic Collision lab. I'm trying to calculate velocity, momentum, and kinetic energy in an elastic collision. The data I have is this. I tried using these numbers to calculate velocity and momentum but the results show momentum is not conserved as it should be. Is that just error from measurements or am I missing something?

(a) he lighter ball is stationary and the heavier ball is in motion. (b) he two balls have the same mass and are initially moving in the same direction, and they collide because the faster-moving ball overtakes the slower-moving one. (c) he two balls have the same mass and only...
