A 2.0-g particle moving at 7.0 m/s makes a perfectly elastic head-on collision with a resting 1.0-g object.
(a) Find the speed of each particle after the collision.
2.0 g particle | m/s |
1.0 g particle | m/s |
(b) Find the speed of each particle after the collision if the
stationary particle has a mass of 10 g.
2.0 g particle | m/s |
10.0 g particle | m/s |
(c) Find the final kinetic energy of the incident 2.0-g particle in
the situations described in parts (a) and (b).
KE in part (a) | J |
KE in part (b) | J |
In which case does the incident particle lose more kinetic
energy?
case (a)case (b)
