Question
Objects A and B undergo a one-dimensional elastic collision.
The initial speed of A is vAi and the initial speed of B is zero. Equations
(8.24) and (8.25) give the final velocity components of the objects after
the collision. Let mA = amB, where a is a constant. (a) What is the
value of a if the final kinetic energy of B equals the initial kinetic energy
of A? (b) What is a if the final kinetic energies of A and B are
equal?

Each ball is dropped from an initial height, h0. The “sad ball” comes to rest without visibly bouncing when it strikes the tabletop. The “happy ball” bounces up to a final height h, where h< h0 A fellow student wants to use one of the balls in a carnival game where cups are knocked over by a thrown ball.

- Sweden and Norway are at war over who makes the best pickled herring. You are in charge of a Swedish artillery unit that is trying to shoot at some Norwegians located 1000 meters away at the same height as you are. If we neglect the friction of the air, the cannon ball follows a parabolic trajectory; as you certainly recall from prior courses, a cannon ball travels a distance L = V²sin(2a) 9 where V is the initial velocity, a is the angle of the cannon barrel, and g = 9.8 m/s² is the gravitational acceleration. You realize that you only have two options for how to shoot. Option (I) is to use 1 bag of gun powder, which produces an initial velocity of exactly V₁ = 105 m/s, and to try to set the angle to aI,nominal = 39 degree. Option (II) is to use 2 bags of gun powder, which produces exactly VII = 137 m/s, and to try to set the angle to aII,nominal = 15 degree. If you set the angles exactly to the nominal ones, compute the traveling distances. L₁ = LII = The problem is that the cannon…arrow_forwardTwo masses are attached by a wire as shown.

Exactly one second later, an 8g bullet is fired upward from the ground with a muzzle velocity of 300(m)/(s). Assume an inelastic collision occurs between the two objects. How long after the 10kg object is dropped will the combined object hit the ground? Compare that time to the time for the 10kg object to hit the ground without the collision.arrow_forward
