Question
Initially, ball 1 rests on an incline of height h, and ball 2 rests on an incline of height h/2 as shown in the figure below. They are released from rest simultaneously and collide elastically in the trough of the track. If m2 = 9m1, m1 = 0.040 kg, and h = 0.35 m, what is the velocity of each ball after the collision? (Assume the balls slide but do not roll. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer. Positive is to the right, and negative is to the left. Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations—

- Proton A has a speed of 800 m/s and collides elastically with proton B which is initially at rest. The two protons move then along perpendicular paths, with the path of proton A forming an angle of 50.0° with its original direction. What is the speed of proton A after the collision?arrow_forwardConsider a mass with mass m = 400 g (e.g., a soccer ball). Assume that the ball is moving to the left with velocity v1 = -20 m/s after being kicked towards a solid wall, that is oriented vertically. Assume that during the collision, the ball interacts with the wall for 1 msec. After the collision with the wall, the ball moves in the positive x-direction with velocity v2 = 10 m/s. Calculate the impulse, Jx. Also calculate the average force, Fav, that the ball exerts on the wall.arrow_forwardA 25.0 g bullet traveling horizontally at 500 m/s strikes a 0.750 kg block of wood that is balanced on the edge of a table 0.800 m above the floor.
