    Collisions Doubt
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on a kinematics question regarding how a third object can pass through two colliding objects without collision. To determine the required speed of the third object, one must first calculate the time until the two colliding objects meet. This time frame can then be used to establish the necessary speed for the third object to navigate through safely. The conversation emphasizes that this scenario is more about motion than the physics of collisions. Understanding the timing of the collision is crucial for solving the problem effectively.

I just got a doubt regarding object collisions and could not find any relevant information on web. I suppose to put on my question here for help.

when the two objects that are independent or dependent together are colliding each other, an other third object want to pass through these objects without any collisions with the reaming objects that are already attracting together. So, if i know the speed of the two objects that are in colliding together. How can i find the required speed of the third object to throw through those objects?


Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like this is a kinematics question, not really much to do with collisions. Figure out how much time before the objects collide. Then use that to determine how quickly the third object must move to pass between them before they collide.
 

Thread '1:1 versus 2:1 Mechanical Advantage debate'

The rope is tied into the person (the load of 200 pounds) and the rope goes up from the person to a fixed pulley and back down to his hands. He hauls the rope to suspend himself in the air. What is the mechanical advantage of the system? The person will indeed only have to lift half of his body weight (roughly 100 pounds) because he now lessened the load by that same amount. This APPEARS to be a 2:1 because he can hold himself with half the force, but my question is: is that mechanical...

Thread 'Average velocity as a weighted mean'

Hello everyone, Consider the problem in which a car is told to travel at 30 km/h for L kilometers and then at 60 km/h for another L kilometers. Next, you are asked to determine the average speed. My question is: although we know that the average speed in this case is the harmonic mean of the two speeds, is it also possible to state that the average speed over this 2L-kilometer stretch can be obtained as a weighted average of the two speeds? Best regards, DaTario

Thread 'Newton's first law?'

Some physics textbook writer told me that Newton's first law applies only on bodies that feel no interactions at all. He said that if a body is on rest or moves in constant velocity, there is no external force acting on it. But I have heard another form of the law that says the net force acting on a body must be zero. This means there is interactions involved after all. So which one is correct?
