    Conservation of momentum and kinetic energy

    Homework Statement Two 0.3 Kg gliders collide elastically on a frictionless track. Prior to the collision , their total kinetic energy is 0.52 J and their total momentum is 0.12 Kg m/s [left] along the track. Calculate the final velocities of the gliders. Homework Equations m1vi1 + m2vi2...

    Dark Matter, calculating missing mass

    Homework Statement The andromeda galaxy has a velocity of 250 km/s as it rotates. The observed mass is 1 x 10^42 kg. If the galaxy is roughly a circle with a diameter of 66,00 light years how much mass is not accounted for visibly? Homework Equations Fc=mv^2/r and Fg=Gm1m2/r^2 The...
