Okay, so what I'm confused with is. A 2D collision took place... It was an inelastic collision in the sense that energy was lost, but the objects did not stick together. So, I have two initial velocities and two final velocities When calculating the speed at the centre of mass, I know I...

I'm sorry, this has accidentally been posted twice, I didn't notice it was going through because my internet was failing.

Urgent Help Needed- Finding the speed at the centre of mass? Please help me :( Hi, I was attempting to work through this question. Anyways, I was working from a graph, so the radius 2.5 cm, the two of them collided, it was an inelastic collision as the two objects did part ways, so how do I...

Hi, I was attempting to work through this question. Anyways, I was working from a graph, so the radius 2.5 cm, the two of them collided, it was an inelastic collision as the two objects did part ways, so how do I find the centre of gravity? I attempted to calculate it... but if someone could...

Hey everyone. In class, we conducted a lab to verify the law of conservation of momentum. On a frictionless surface (glass surface), we had to collide two masses and record the time, and then make calculations for the velocity... and using that, calculate the initial and final momentums and...

I know frequency = 1/t, but is that in every case? In our momentum lab, we were given that the frequency is 1/50... does that mean the time is 50s?

Well, it was a glass tube, covered with a garbage can and the system was set up in such a way, that when it was turned on, it was supposed to be frictionless. We collided the two masses and used a stop watch to find out the time.

Hi Everyone! I'm a grade 12 physics student and we conducted a momentum lab. On a frictionless surface, we conducted a simple 2D collision and using the data gathered from that, we had to calculated the momemtums and indicate what type of collision had taken place... that was all fine and done...
