A particle of mass m collides with a second particle of mass m. Before the collision, the first particle is moving in the x-dire

ction with a speed 2v and the second particle is at rest. After the collision, the second particle is moving in the direction 45o below the x-axis and with a speed √2v.
a) Find the velocity of the first particle after the collision. (i.e. find the x-and y-components of the velocity.)
b) Find the total kinetic energy of the two particles before and after the collision.
c) Is the collision elastic or inelastic?

Answer:

a) v, v

b) 2mv^2

c) Elastic collion

Explanation:

(a) The velocity of the second particle after the collision is (v2x,v2y)=(v,−v).  From momentum conservation in x-direction

Here x, y represent direction.They are not variable. 1 and 2 represent before and after.

2vm=v1xm+v2xm, we find v1x=v.

From momentum conservation in y-direction

0 =v1ym+v2ym, we findv1y=v.

(b) By energy conservation principle

Before: K=1/2m(2v)^2=2mv^2.

After: K=1/2m(v^2(1x)+v^2(1y))+12m(v22x+v22y)=2mv^2

(c) The collision is elastic

An empty 2,500 kg train car is headed northbound at a velocity of 5 m/s. Ahead of the first car, an empty 1,500 kg car is headed
Tema [17]

Let the mass of 2500 kg car be m_1 and it's velocity be v_1 and the mass of 1500 kg car be m_2 and it's velocity be v_2 .

After the bumping the mass be M and it's velocity be V.

     By law of conservation of momentum we have

                   m_1v_1+m_2v_2 = MV

                    2500 * 5 + 1500 * 1=4000 * V

                    V = 14000/4000 = 7/2 = 3.5 m/s

So the velocity of the two-car train = 3.5 m/s
