Two particles are moving toward each other along the x axis with equal speeds. Specifically, particle 1 of mass 7 kg moves to the right at 3.87 m/s and particle 2 of mass 15 kg moves to the left at the same speed. The particles collide elastically. After the collision, the first particle moves at 90◦ to its original direction while the second particle is deflected through a smaller angle θ2 < 90◦. A) Find the final speed of particle...

Two particles move along an x axis. The position of particle 1 is given by x = 10.0t2 + 6.00t + 4.00 (in meters and seconds); the acceleration of particle 2 is given by a = -9.00t (in meters per seconds squared and seconds) and, at t = 0, its velocity is 24.0 m/s. When the velocities of the particles match, what is their velocity?
