Elastic collisions: one at rest one moving, two colliding, both initially moving the same direction.

Inelastic collisions: one at rest one moving, two colliding, both initially moving the same direction.

Perfectly elastic collisions: one at rest one moving, two colliding, both initially moving the same direction.

Was momentum conserved for all types of collisions you examined in this experiment? If not, explain the cause of losing or

gaining momentum. Was total velocity conserved for all types of collisions you examined in this experiment? If not, explain the cause of losing or

gaining velocity. Was kinetic energy conserved for all types of collisions you examined in this experiment? If not, explain the cause of losing or

gaining kinetic energy. In general, how does the momentum after a collision compare to the momentum before the collision?

Indicate true or false in the following statements: Two particles can collide and one can leave at right angles to the other in a perfect inelastic collision. Momentum is conserved in all collisions and kinetic energy is not conserved in inelastic collisions. It is not possible for a one mass to transfer all its momentum to an identical but initially stationary mass. For a pair of colliding particles, if there was zero total momentum in the x direction before a...

In elastic collisions,total kinetic energy and momentum are both conserved. On a frictionless track,cart 1 is moving with a constant,rightward(+) velocity of 1.0m/s.Cart 2 is also moving rightward with constant velocity of 5.0m/s.  After a while,cart 2 collides cart 1 from behind.(It is an elactic collision.)If the final velocity of cart 2 becomes 3.0m/s, what is the final velocity of cart 1?

A 1.0kg object initially moving with a velocity of 3.0m/s to the right makes an elastic head-on collision with a 1.5kg object initially moving to the left at 2.0m/s. a) What are the final velocities of the two objects after the collision? b) Using the given initial data for the two-object system as well as your results, show that the total kinetic energy is conserved for this elastic collision.

1.Imagine two balls colliding on a billiard table that is frictionless. Decide which statement is correct and explain why:(a) The total momentum of the system that contains only one of the two balls is the same before and after the collision.(b) The total momentum of the system that contains both of the two balls is the same before and after the collision. 2.One object is at rest, and another is moving. The two collide in one-dimensional, completely inelastic collision. In...

One object is at rest, and another is moving. The two collide in a one-dimensional, completely inelastic collision. In other words, they stick together after the collision and move off with a common velocity. Momentum is conserved. The speed of the object that is moving initially is 30 m/s. The masses of the two objects are 3.0 and 7.6 kg. Determine the final speed of the two-object system after the collision for the case (a) when the large-mass object is...

A 5.0-kg mass moving at 8.0 m/s collides head-on with a 3.0-kg mass initially at rest If the collision is perfectly elastic, what is the speed of the masses just after the collision? Is the kinetic energy conserved?

Two identical pucks collide on an air hockey table. One puck was originally at rest. If the incoming puck has a velocity of 6.50 m/s along the +x-axis and scatters to an angle of 32.0° above the +x-axis. A) What is the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the second puck? (You may use the result that θ1 − θ2 = 90° for elastic collisions of objects that have identical masses.) Velocity (magnitude) = _______ Velocity (direction) = ________ below +x-axis...

Two identical pucks collide on an air hockey table. One puck was originally at rest. If the incoming puck has a velocity of 7.10 m/s along the +x-axis and scatters to an angle of 36.0° above the +x-axis, what is the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the second puck? (You may use the result that θ1 − θ2 = 90° for elastic collisions of objects that have identical masses.) Velocity (magnitude) = Velocity (direction) = below +x-axis What is the...

A ball with a mass of 1.1 kg is initially at rest. It is struck by a second ball having a mass of 1.3 kg, initially moving with a velocity of 3.5 m/s toward the right along the x axis. After the collision, the 1.3 kg ball has a velocity of 2.7 m/s at an angle of 35? above the x axis in the first quadrant. Both balls move on a frictionless, horizontal surface. Do not assume that the collision...

A mass 1.9 kg is initially at rest at the top of a 2meter high ramp. It slides down the frictionless ramp and collides elastically with an unknown mass which is initially at rest. After colliding with the unknown mass, the 1.9 kg mass recoils and achieves a maximum height (altitude) of only 0.2 m going back up the frictionless ramp. (HINT: Solving each part in sequence will guide you to a solution without doing a lot of algebra.) 1.Considering...
