A ball of mass 0.4kg is thrown at a wall. It strikes the wall with a speed of 1.5ms−1 perpendicular to the wall and bounces off the wall with a speed of 1.2ms−1. Calculate the changes in momentum and kinetic energy which happen in the collision between the ball and the wall.
An atomic nucleus suddenly bursts apart (fission) into two pieces. Piece A with mass mA travels to the left with a speed of vA. Piece B with mass mB travels to the right with speed vB. Show the velocity of piece B in terms of mA, mB and VA. Solution: Consider that the nucleus is not acted by an external force. Thus, momentum is conserved, so: pBf + pAf = 0 Substituting the expression for momentum results to mBv + mAv = 0 Deriving the expression for the velocity of piece B results to
