- A head-on, elastic collision occurs between two billiard balls of equal mass. If a red ball is traveling to the right with speed v and a blue ball is traveling to the left with speed 3v before the collision, what statement is true concerning their velocities subsequent to the collision? Neglect any effects of spin. (a) The red ball travels to the left with speed v, while the blue ball travels to the right with speed 3v. (b) The red ball travels to the left with speed v, while the blue ball continues to move to the left with a speed 2v. (c) The red ball travels to the left with speed 3v, while the blue ball travels to the right with speed v. (d) Their final velocities cannot be determined because momentum is not conserved in the collision. (e) The velocities cannot be determined without knowing the mass of each ball.arrow_forwardInitially, ball 1 rests on an incline of height h, and ball 2 rests on an incline of height h/2 as shown in Figure P11.40. They are released from rest simultaneously and collide in the trough of the track. If m2 = 4 m1 and the collision is elastic, find an expression for the velocity of each ball immediately after the collision.

The velocity of the 1-kg object after the collision is (a) greater than 4 m/s, (b) less than 4 m/s, (c) equal to 4 m/s, (d) zero, or (e) impossible to say based on the information provided.arrow_forward
- Initially, ball 1 rests on an incline of height h, and ball 2 rests on an incline of height h/2 as shown in Figure P11.40. They are released from rest simultaneously and collide elastically in the trough of the track. If m2 = 4 m1, m1 = 0.045 kg, and h = 0.65 m, what is the velocity of each ball after the collision?arrow_forwardTwo skateboarders, with masses m1 = 75.0 kg and m2 = 65.0 kg, simultaneously leave the opposite sides of a frictionless half-pipe at height h = 4.00 m as shown in Figure P11.49. Assume the skateboarders undergo a completely elastic head-on collision on the horizontal segment of the half-pipe. Treating the skateboarders as particles and assuming they dont fall off their skateboards, what is the height reached by each skateboarder after the collision?

(c) What magnitude impulse would be required to kick the ball in the opposite direction at 12.8 m/s, instead? (See Section 6.1.)arrow_forward
