Question
Shows a cube at rest and a small object heading toward it. (a) Describe the directions (angle θ1) at which the small object can emerge after colliding elastically with the cube. How does θ1 depend on b, the so-called impact parameter? Ignore any effects that might be due to rotation after the collision, and assume that the cube is much more massive than the small object. (b) Answer the same questions if the small object instead collides with a massive sphere.

A bullet of mass, m = 0.100 kg, and with an x coordinate of b = 0.04 m strikes the sphere from below with a vertical velocity, v = 65 m/s and embeds in the sphere coming to rest at the location (-b,0) in the diagram below. Since there is no momentum in the horizontal direction, after the bullet hits the sphere , it will rise up to some maximum height and then fall back to its initial position on the two blocks. While the sphere is in the air it will rotate. What is the magnitude of the angle (in degrees) through which the sphere will rotate before it makes contact with the two blocks again?arrow_forward
