1. The general case of an inelastic collision was analyzed in the theory section. In this question, you will be asked to analyze one specific collision. Show all work for full credit.

Assume that the center of the projectile tennis ball is 35 cm below the point of suspension and is released from an angle of 40 degrees with the vertical. Given that the mass of a tennis ball is 57 grams, which is also the mass of the target ball

a. What is its kinetic energy at the lowest point of its swing, just before it hits the target ball?

b. What is its velocity at this point?

c. If the projectile ball then collides and sticks to the target ball, what is their velocity after impact?

d. What is the kinetic energy of the two ball system just after impact?

e. How high will the combination rise after impact?

f. What angle will the combination make with the vertical at its highest point?

g. What is the % kinetic energy “lost” in the collision?

1. A rubber ball with a mass of 1.35 kg is stuck in a tree. To knock it out, you throw a golf ball with a mass of 0.0450 kg at it. The golf ball hits the rubber ball with a speed of 20.0 m/s and bounces off with a speed of 10.0 m/s. The golf ball is moving in the same direction horizontally after the collision as it was before it hit the rubber ball. When the golf ball...

Revisiting the ballistic pendulum. In lab we used both conservation of momentum and conservation of energy to relate the launch speed of a projectile to the maximum height of the swing of a pendulum. Here we will study the parts of this problem in a bit more detail. (a) Briefly explain why momentum is conserved during the collision of the projectile and the pendulum, but mechanical energy is not conserved. (b) Briefly explain why mechanical energy (kinetic plus potential energy)...
