    Help test tmrw elastic collision and conservation of momentum problem?

    I not certain but I think I would go about solving it like this; The formula you want to use is v'A = ((mA-mB)/(mA + mB))vA And look at the frame set so that the total velocity of block 1 is actual 10 m/s - 5 m/s so the sped of block one would be 5 m/s. No guarantee though

    Nervous message - nerves sensing heat & mechanical movement

    All messages are transmitted the same way through the nervous fibers. When the nerve fiber is stimulated it creates an action potential that travels along the nerve pathway, or depending on the structure will jump quickly along the nerve generating action potentials at the node of ranvier. The...

    Solving Collision and Kinetics Problems in 2D

    Hello Everyone, I am having a heck of a time with collisions in 2D and with rotational kinetics and rotational dynamics. I have posted 5 questions below that I seem to be having the most troubles with. I know it my be a lot to ask but if anyone here can help me to understand how they got to...

    Calculate Mass of Cylinder Given Tension & Distance

    The best I can get is \alpha = (T1 + T2)/I = (Fr - Tr)/1/2 mr2 = (mra -(ma+mg)r)/ 1/2 mr2 don't see how the radiii cancel each other though

    Elastic collisions of a moving ball hitting a stationary ball

    so if we add are we left with; (v12 -v12'cos302) + (-v12'sin302) / 2v2'2 ?

    Elastic collisions of a moving ball hitting a stationary ball

    I am just not seeing this... cos2(θ) = (v12 -v12'cos302)/v2'2 sin2(θ) = (-v12'sin302)/v2'2 thanks very much for helping btw

    Elastic collisions of a moving ball hitting a stationary ball

    So, cos(theta) = v1 - (v1'cos30)/v2' and sin(theta) = (-va'sin30)/v2' where do the sin2theta come from?

    Elastic collisions of a moving ball hitting a stationary ball

    Ok, The equations I have gotten are x --> v_1 = v_1'cos30 + v_2'cos(theta) y --> 0 = v_1'sin30 + v_2'sin(theta) Energy --> v_1^2 = v_1'^2 + v_2'^2

    Elastic collisions of a moving ball hitting a stationary ball

    Right, this is the best answer I got however I do not feel anywhere near confident. 3.0 m/s = v_1'cos30 + v_2'cos(theta) = 2.598 m/s + v_2'cos(theta) = 3.0 m/s - 2.598 m/s so v_2'cos(theta) = 0.402 m/s in the "x" direction 0 = v_1'sin30 + v_2'sin(theta) = 1.299 m/s + v_2'sin(theta). so...

    Elastic collisions of a moving ball hitting a stationary ball

    Homework Statement A 2.0 kg ball moving with a speed of 3.0 m/s hits, elastically, an identical stationary ball. If the first ball moves away with an angle 30 degrees to the original path, determine the speed of the first ball after the collision, and the speed and direction of the second...

    Moment of inertia and Atwood Machine

    I know the two mass values, however we do not know the radius of the pulley. In the first trial the m1 mass is 122.59 g and the m2 mass is 113.46 g with the accelerations calculated as 0.07 m/s^2 Trial 2 m1 mass 124.34 g m2 mass 111.71 g with the acceleration calculated as 0.21 m/s^2...

    Moment of inertia and Atwood Machine

    Homework Statement The question is from a lab. The lab used an Atwood Machine with two masses suspended string looped over a pulley. The time for one mass to reach the ground was measured and acceleration of the mass was calculated. The results were plotted on a graph of weight difference...
