A 4.0 kg circular disk slides in the x- direction on a frictionless horizontal surface with a speed of 5.0 m/s as shown in the a

djacent Figure. It collides with an identical disk that is at rest before the collision. The collision is elastic. Disk 1 goes off at an 60 5.0 m/s angle of 60 with respect to the x-direction. Disk 2 g 30 goes off at an angle of 30 with respect to the x-direction. What best describes the speeds of the disks after the collision?

Solution :

Let $m_1=m_2=4$ kg

$u_1 = 5$ m/s

Let $v_1$ and $v_2$ are the speeds of the disk $m_1$ and $m_2$  after the collision.

So applying conservation of momentum in the y-direction,

$0=m_1 .v_1_y -m_2 .v_2_y $

$v_1_y = v_2_y$

$v_1 . \sin 60=v_2. \sin 30$

$v_2 = v_1 \times \frac{\sin 60}{\sin 30}$

$v_2=1.732 \times v_1$

Therefore, the disk 2 have greater velocity and hence more kinetic energy after the collision.

Now applying conservation of momentum in the x-direction,

$m_1.u_1=m_1.v_1_x+m_2.v_2_x$

$u_1=v_1_x+v_2_x$

$5=v_1. \cos 60 + v_2 . \cos 30$

$5=v_1. \cos 60 + 1.732 \times v_1 \cos 30$

$v_1 = 2.50$ m/s

So, $v_2 = 1.732 \times 2.5$

          = 4.33 m/s

Therefore, speed of the disk 2 after collision is 4.33 m/s

The first rule of vectors is that the horizontal and vertical components are separate. Disregarding air resistance, the only thing we have to worry about is gravity.

The appropriate suvat to use for the vertical component is v = u +at
I will take a to be -9.81, you may have to change it to be 10 if your qualification likes g to be 10.

v = 30 + (-9.81x2)
v = 30 - 19.62
=10.38m/s

Therefore we know that after 2.0 s the vertical component will be 10.38ms^-1, ie 10m/s as the answers given are all to 2sf.

The horizontal component is completely separate to the vertical component and since there is no air resistance, it will remain constant throughout the projectiles trajectory. Therefore it will remain at 40ms^-1.

Combining this together we get:
(1) vx=40m/s and vy=10m/s

Answer:

technically yes

Explanation:

with a gun depending on how fast it shoots so when you fire at something you shoot in front of it a little bit so you hit it but a plane that fast you shoot like 100 feet infront of it...
