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.
A cruise ship with a mass of 1.00107kg strikes a pier at a speed of 0.750 m/s. It comes to rest after traveling 6.00 m, damaging the ship, the pier, and the tugboat captain’s finances. Calculate the average force exerted on the pier using the concept of impulse. (Hint: First calculate the time it took to bring the ship to rest, assuming a constant force.)
Two automobiles of equal mass approach an intersection. One vehicle is traveling with velocity 13.0 m/s toward the east, and the other is traveling north with velocity v2i. Neither driver sees the other. The vehicles collide in the intersection and stick together, leaving parallel skid marks at an angle of 55.0 north of east The speed limit for both roads is 35 mi/h, and the driver of the northward-moving vehicle claims he was within the limit when the collision occurred. Is he telling the truth?

(a) Determine the ratio of the momentum immediately after the collision to the momentum immediately before the collision, (b) Show that the ratio of the kinetic energy immediately after the collision to the kinetic energy immediately before the collision is m1/(m1 + m2).
A superball of mass M and a marble of mass m are dropped from a height h with the marble just on top of the superball. A superball has a coefficient of restitution of nearly 1 (i.e., its collision is essentially elastic). Ignore the sizes of the superball and marble. The superball collides with the floor, rebounds, and smacks the marble, which moves back up. How high does the marble go if all the motion is vertical? How high does the superball go?
Must the total energy of a system be conserved whenever its momentum is conserved? Explain why or why not.
Ernest Rutherford (the first New Zealander to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry) demonstrated that nuclei were very small and dense by scattering helium-4 nuclei from gold-197 nuclei. The energy of the incoming helium nucleus was 8.001013J , and the masses of the helium and gold nuclei were 6.681027kg and 3.291025kg , respectively (note that their mass ratio is 4 to 197). a. If a helium nucleus scatters to an angle of 120 during an elastic collision with a gold nucleus, calculate the helium nucleus’s final speed and the final velocity (magnitude and direction) of the gold nucleus. b. What is the final kinetic energy of the helium nucleus?
You friend claims that momentum is mass multiplied by velocity, so things with more mass have more momentum. Do you agree? Explain.
Review. There are (one can say) three coequal theories of motion for a single particle: Newtons second law, stating that the total force on the particle causes its acceleration; the workkinetic energy theorem, stating that the total work on the particle causes its change in kinetic energy; and the impulsemomentum theorem, stating that the total impulse on the panicle causes its change in momentum. In this problem, you compare predictions of the three theories in one particular case. A 3.00-kg object has velocity 7.00jm/s. Then, a constant net force 12.0iN acts on the object for 5.00 s. (a) Calculate the objects final velocity, using the impulsemomentum theorem. (b) Calculate its acceleration from a=(vfvi)/t. (c) Calculate its acceleration from a=F/m. (d) Find the objects vector displacement from r=vit+12at2 (e) Find the work done on the object from W=Fr. (f) Find the final kinetic energy from 12mvf2=12mvfvf. (g) Find the final kinetic energy from 12mvi2+W. (h) State the result of comparing the answers to parts (b) and (c), and the answers to parts (f) and (g).
