In an elastic collision of two particles with masses m1 and m2, the initial velocities are u1 and u2 = u1. If the initial kinetic energies of the two particles are equal, find the conditions on u1/u2 and m1/m2 such that m1 is at rest after the collision. Examine both cases for the sign of .
A proton traveling at 3.0106m/s scatters elastically from an initially stationary alpha particle and is deflected at an angle of 85 with respect to its initial velocity. Given that the alpha particle has four times the mass of the proton, what percent of its initial kinetic energy does the proton retain after the collision?
Two identical objects (such as billiard balls) have a one-dimensional collision in which one is initially motionless. After the collision, the moving object is stationary and the other moves with the same speed as the other originally had. Show that both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved.
A projectile of mass 2.0 kg is fired in the air at an angle of 40.0 to the horizon at a speed of 50.0 m/s. At the highest point in its flight, the projectile breaks into three parts of mass 1.0 kg, 0.7 kg, and 0.3 kg. The 1.0-kg part falls straight down after breakup with an initial speed of 10.0 m/s, the 0.7-kg part moves in the original forward direction, and the 0.3-kg part goes straight up. Launch a. Find the speeds of the 0.3-kg and 0.7-kg pieces immediately after the break-up. b. How high from the break-up point does the 0.3-kg piece go before coming to rest? c. Where does the 0.7-kg piece land relative to where it was fired from?
