Answer:
A.) Find the answer in the explanation
B.) Ua = 7.33 m/s , Vb = 7.73 m/s
C.) Impulse = 17.6 Ns
D.) 49%
Explanation:
Let Ua = initial velocity of the rod A
Ub = initial velocity of the rod B
Va = final velocity of the rod A
Vb = final velocity of the rod B
Ma = mass of rod A
Mb = mass of rod B
Given that
Ma = 2kg
Mb = 1kg
Ub = 3 m/s
Va = 0
e = restitution coefficient = 0.65
The general expression for the velocities of the two rods after impact will be achieved by considering the conservation of linear momentum.
