Imagine two billiard balls on a pool table. Ball A has a mass of 2 kilograms and ball B has a mass of 3 kilograms. The initial v

elocity of ball A is 9 meters per second to the right, and the initial velocity of the ball B is 6 meters per second to the left. The final velocity of ball A is 9 meters per second to the left, while the final velocity of ball B is 6 meters per second to the right.
1. Explain what happens to each ball after the collision. Why do you think this occurs? Which of Newton’s laws does this represent?

2. What can you say about the total momentum before and after the collision?

3. What do you think would happen to the velocity of each ball after the collision if the masses and initial velocities of each ball were the same?

4. The mass of ball A is 10 kilograms and the mass of ball B is 5 kilograms. If the initial velocity is set to 3 meters per second for each ball, what is the final velocity of ball B if the final velocity of ball A is 2 meters per second? Use the elastic collision equation to find the final velocity of ball B. Assume ball A initially moves from right to left and ball B moves in the opposite direction. Identify each mass, velocity, and unknown. Show your work, including units, and indicate the direction of ball B in your answer.

5. If the mass of each ball were the same, but the velocity of ball A were twice as much as ball B, what do you think would happen to the final velocity of each ball after the collision? To answer this question, create a hypothesis in the form of an if-then statement. The “if” is the independent variable, or the thing that is being changed. The “then” is the dependent variable, or what you will measure as the outcome.

1. After the collision, their velocities have switched. This is Newton's third law of motion.

2. The total momentum is conserved.

3. The same thing would happen if the collision is totally elastic.

For 4 and 5.
Using the conservation of momentum equation
m1v1 + m2v2 = m1'v1' + m2'v2'<span />

How do you give an example for finding net force?
Crazy boy [7]
--  6 people all trying to push a car out of snow

--  a Tug-o-War with 30 people of different sizes pulling on each end of the rope

--  you and your sister both pulling on the same doll (or Transformer)

--  lifting a book up from the table to a high shelf
    taking a book down from a high shelf to the table
    (one force is you; another force is gravity)

--  grabbing your big dog by his collar and trying to bring him inside

--  three people at the table all grab the ketchup bottle at the same time

A 70.0-kg ice hockey goalie, originally at rest, catches a 0.150-kg hockey puck slapped at him at a velocity of 35.0 m/s. Suppos
brilliants [131]

Answer:

v₂=- 34 .85 m/s

v₁=0.14 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

m₁=70 kg ,u₁=0 m/s

m₂=0.15 kg ,u₂=35 m/s

Given that collision is elastic .We know that for elastic  collision

Lets take their final speed is v₁ and v₂

From momentum conservation

m₁u₁+m₂u₂=m₁v₁+m₂v₂

70 x 0+ 0.15 x 35 = 70 x v₁ + 0.15 x v₂

70 x v₁ + 0.15 x v₂=5.25                   --------1

v₂-v₁=u₁-u₂            ( e= 1)

v₂-v₁ = -35        --------2

By solving above equations

v₂=- 34 .85 m/s

v₁=0.14 m/s
