Please answer A, B, C.
Let two particles of equal mass m collide. Particle 1 has initial velocity v, directed to the right, and particle 2 is initially stationary.
Now assume that the mass of particle 1 is 2m, while the mass of particle 2 remains m. If the collision is elastic, what are the final velocities v1 and v2 of particles 1 and 2? Express the velocities in terms of v.
A block m starts at the bottom of a ramp of length L and angle 0 at rest. A block with
mass 2m collides inelastically with the block m. The two blocks slide without friction
up the incline. Assuming a smooth transition at the bottom of the ramp, what is the
final height of the center of mass of the two blocks?
