Two 2.0kg bodies A and B collide The velocities before the collision are U1=15i+30j and U2=-10j+5.0j After the collision V1=-5.0

j+20j All speeds are given in meters per seconds find the final velocity and how much kinetic energy is gained or lost in the collision

Use the law of conservation of momentum. Since the momentum is a linear measure, we can treat each of the dimension separately:

i-direction:

m_1u_{1i}+m_2u_{2i}=m_1v_{1i}+m_2v_{2i}\\v_{2i} = \frac{m_1u_{1i}+m_2u_{2i}-m_1v_{1i}}{m_2}=\frac{(2\cdot 15-2\cdot10+2\cdot5)kg\frac{m}{s}}{2kg}=10\frac{m}{s}

j-direction:

m_1u_{1j}+m_2u_{2j}=m_1v_{1j}+m_2v_{2j}\\v_{2j} = \frac{m_1u_{1j}+m_2u_{2j}-m_1v_{1j}}{m_2}=\frac{(2\cdot 30+2\cdot5-2\cdot20)kg\frac{m}{s}}{2kg}=15\frac{m}{s}

Answer: Final velocity is: (10i + 15j) m/s

Change in the kinetic energy:

\Delta E_k = E_{ku}-E_{kv} = \frac{1}{2}m(u_1^2+u_2^2-v_1^2-v_2^2)=\\=\frac{1}{2}2kg(1125+125-425-325)\frac{m^2}{s^2}=500J

Answer: The system lost 500J worth of kinetic energy in the collision

A 900 kg car travelling at 12 m/s due east collides with a 600 kg car travelling at 24 m/s due north. As a result of the collisi
katrin [286]

Calculate force of each car:

P1 = 900 kg x 12m/s = 10,800

P2= 600 x 24 = 14,400

Degree of travel = arctan(14,300/10800)

Degree of travel = 53.1 N of E
