Please Note: It may not always be possible to include the necessary special characters, superscripts, subscripts, etc. in e-mail responses to this group of exercises. We suggest that you discuss this matter with your professor/class and decide upon a system for indicating such characters. You may cut/paste some characters and/or Greek letters from Microsoft Word, using the Insert menu. Alternatively, we suggest that you agree upon abbreviations for or spell out symbols, Greek letters, or characters and indicate superscripts and subscripts by using "sup", "sub", or up/down carats.
Determine the following:
A 100-g ball moving at a speed of 40.0 m/s strikes a wall at an angle of 60.0° with respect to the normal. There is no change in the component of the velocity parallel to the wall and the ball leaves the wall with a speed of 38.0 m/s. The ball and wall are in contact for 0.100 s.
m1 and m2 are traveling as shown in the figure below. m1 slides down the ramp, overtaking and colliding elastically with m2. The surface is frictionless.
m1 and m2 travel toward each other before colliding inelastically and sticking together, as shown in the figure below. The surface is frictionless.
