Question

Two particles of different mass, m1 > m2 , collide to- tally inelastically. They ini- tially have identical speeds, however, the direction is at an angle ? above and below the x-axis, respectively, as shown. Which one of the indicated fi- nal velocities is correct?

Part A)

A? A, along the initial velocity of particle 2.

B? B, between the direction of the initial velocity of particle 2 and the x-axis.
C? C, along the x-axis
D? D, between the x-axis and the direction of the ini- tial velocity of particle 1.
E? E, along the initial velocity of particle 1.

Part B)

If the initial speeds are v1 = v2 = 6.7m/s and the angle ? is 25 degrees, what is the x-component of the final velocity? (in m/s)

Explanation / Answer

D) between the x-axis and direction of initial velocity of particle 1

from conservation of kinetic energy we can find the final v,

then we can find x component by using formula= vsin12.5
