Given Solution: `a** For an elastic collision we have m1 v1 + m2 v2 = m1 v1' + m2 v2' and v2 - v1 = -( v2' - v1'). We substitute m1, v1, m2 and v2 to obtain 450 kg * 4.5 m/s + 550 kg * 3.7 m/s = 450 kg * v1 ' + 550 kg * v2 ', or 4060 kg m/s = 450 kg * v1 ' + 550 kg * v2 ' . Dividing by 10 and by kg we have 406 m/s = 45 v1 ' + 55 v2 '. We also obtain 3.7 m/s - 4.5 m/s = -(v2 ' - v1 ' ) or v1 ' = v2 ' - .8 m/s. Substituting this into 406 m/s = 45 v1 ' + 55 v2 ' we obtain 406 m/s = 45 ( v2 ' - .8 m/s) + 55 v2 ' . We easily solve for v2 ' obtaining v2 ' = 4.42 m/s. This gives us v1 ' = 4.42 m/s - .8 m/s = 3.62 m/s. Checking to be sure that momentum is conserved we see that the after-collision momentum is pAfter = 450 kg * 3.62 m/s + 550 kg * 4.42 m/s = 4060 m/s. The momentum change of the first car is m1 v1 ' - m1 v1 = 450 kg * 3.62 m/s - 450 kg * 4.5 m/s = - 396 kg m/s. The momentum change of the second car is m2 v2 ' - m2 v2 = 550 kg * 4.42 m/s - 550 kg * 3.7 m/s = + 396 kg m/s. Momentum changes are equal and opposite. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): OK ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating #$&* OK ********************************************* Question: `qUniv. 3.48.

Given Solution: `a** We know the following: For y motion `dsy = + 8 m, ay = -g = - 9.8 m/s^2 and v0y = v0 sin(60 deg) = .87 v0. For x motion `dsx = 18 m, ax = 0 and v0x = v0 cos(60 deg) = .5. Assuming a coordinate system where motion starts at the origin: The equation of motion in the x direction is thus x = .5 v0 * t and the equation of y motion is y = .87 v0 t - .5 g t^2. We know x and y at impact and we know g so we could solve these two equations simultaneously for v0 and t. We begin by eliminating t from the two equations: x = .5 v0 * t so t = 2 x / v0. Substituting this expression for t in the second equation we obtain y = .87 v0 * (2 x / v0) - .5 g ( 2 x / v0) ^ 2. Multiplying both sides by v0^2 we obtain v0^2 y = .87 v0^2 ( 2 x) - .5 g * 4 x^2. Bringing all the v0 terms to the left-hand side we have v0^2 y - 1.73 v0^2 x = -2 g * x^2. Factoring v0 we have v0^2 ( y - 1.73 x) = -2 g x^2 so that v0 = +-sqrt(-2 g x^2 / ( y - 1.73 x) ) ) . Since we know that y = 8 m when x = 18 m we obtain = +- sqrt( -9.8 m/s^2 * (18 m)^2 / ( 8 m - 1.73 * 18 m) ) = +-sqrt(277 m^2 / s^2) = +-16.7 m/s, approx.. We choose the positive value of v0, since the negative value would have the projectile moving 'backward' from its starting point. Substituting this value into t = 2 x / v0 and recalling that our solution applies to the instant of impact when x = 16 m and y = 8 m we obtain t = 2 * 18 m / (16.7 m/s) = 2.16 s. Alternatively we can solve the system for v0 less symbolically and perhaps gain different insight into the meaning of the solution. Starting with the equations x = .5 v0 * t and y = .87 v0 t - .5 g t^2 we see that impact occurs when x = .5 v0 t = 18 m so that t = 18 m / (.5 v0) = 36 m / v0. At this instant of impact y = 8 m so substituting this and the t just obtained into the equation of motion for y we get y = .87 v0 (36 m / v0 ) - .5 g (36 m / v0 )^2 = 8 m. The equation .87 v0 (36 m / v0 ) - .5 g (36 m / v0 )^2 = 8 m is easily solved for v0, obtaining v0 = 16.7 m/s. With this initial velocity we again confirm that t = 2.16 sec at impact. Note that at t = 2.16 sec we get y = 14.4 m/s * 2.16 s - 4.9 m/s^2 * (2.16 s)^2 = 8 m, within roundoff error, confirming this solution. We need the magnitude and direction of the velocity at impact. We therefore need the x and y components of the velocity at the t = 2.16 sec instant. At this instant we have x and y velocities vx = dx/dt = .5 v0 = 8.35 m/s and vy = dy/dt = 14.4 m/s - 9.8 m/s^2 * t = 14.4 m/s - 9.8 m/s^2 * 2.16 s = -5.6 m/s, approx. The velocity at impact therefore has magnitude sqrt( (8.25 m/s)^2 + (-5.6 m/s)^2 ) = 10 m/s, approx. and the angle is arctan(vy/vx) = arctan(-5.6 / 8.25) = -34 deg, approx. At impact the object is moving at 10 m/s and at 34 deg below horizontal (i.e., it's on its way back down). ** &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): OK ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique rating #$&* OK "
