Two particles with masses 2m and 5m are moving toward each otheralong the x axis with the same initial speeds vi. Particle 2m istraveling to the left, while particle 5m is traveling to the right.They undergo an elastic, glancing collision such that particle 2mis moving downward after the collision at a right angle from itsinitial direction.

(a) Find the final speeds of the two particles. (ANSWER INTERMS OF vi)
particle 2m ....vi
particle 5m ....vi

(b) What is the angle ? at which the particle 5m is scattered?

Two shuffleboard disks of equal mass, one orange, and the other yellow are involved in an elastic, glancing collision. The yellow disk is initially at rest and is struck by the orange disk moving with a speed vi. After the collision, the orange disk moves along a direction that makes an angle with its initial direction of motion. The velocities of the two disks are perpendicular after the collision. Determine the final speed of each disk.

 

Two equal masses collide in space away from any gravitational object. Mass A is moving in a straight line at 45 m/s and mass B is initially at rest. After the collision mass A is traveling along a path that makes a +30o angle with its initial direction of motion, and mass B is traveling at an angle of -45o relative to A's initial motion. (a) Find the speeds of the two masses after the collision. (b) What is the change in kinetic energy of the system because of the collision?
