In a nuclear reaction an incoming proton, with an initial velocity v1, collides with another proton, initially at rest. After the collision one proton goes off at 37° to the direction of v1. If the collision is perfectly elastic, find the velocities of the two protons after the collision.

An object of mass m1 approaches with velocity v1 another object of mass m2, which is at rest, next to a spring having force constant k. The spring is fixed to a wall and m2 can compress the spring. This is one-dim horizontal collision without friction. We consider two collision scenarios, one which is perfectly inelastic, and the other which is elastic. (a) In the first collision case the object m1 strikes m2 and sticks. Moving together, they compress the...
