But where is alpha in your formulas?
u1 and u2 depand on alpha as well...
Energy conservation:
m_{1}v_{1}^2 = m_{1}u_{1}^2 + m_{2}u_{2}^2
Momentum conservation:
m_{1}v_{1}= m_{1}u_{1}\cos\alpha + m_{2}u_{2}\cos\beta
m_{1}u_{1}\sin\alpha = m_{2}u_{2}\sin\beta
Need to solve these...
Consider the elastic collision of two particles with rest masses m1 and m2.
Particle 1 is moving with speed v1 and particle 2 is at rest.
We choose the coordinate system such that particle 1 is initially moving along the x axis.
The two vectors, initial and final velocity of particle 1, will...
Yep
I know, I get three equations (1 from energy, and 2 from the momentum vector) with 3 variables, but they are very cumbersome - I can't find a solution...
Hi!
I need to make a project in C/C++ for next year.
I thought it would be nice if it will relates to physics.
Right now, my only ideas are a virtual physics lab or a billiard game.
Do you have any ideas/tips for me?
Thanks,
Or Ozery
