Question

Elastic Collision:      Can anyone help mefill in the missing values in red , I don't know how to calculatethem. lifesaver points! (The V1i's etc are in m/s)

Mass of the left cart: 190.0 g
Mass of the right cart 199.9 g

N of trial V1i     V1f  V2i       V2f   Pi (kg*m/s)    Pf(kg*m/s)   Ei (J)   Ef(J)    |Pi-Pf|   |Ei-Ef|
1             .907    .705   .567    .225                     
2             1.21    1.55   .705    .425                     
3              4.85    1.55   1.01    .405                     


Explanation / Answer

Given :           Mass ofthe left cart (m1 )   = 190.0g = 0.19 kg           Mass ofthe right cart (m2)  = 199.9g = 0.1999 kg N of trial    V1i     V1f      V2i      V2f
1              .907    .705    .567     .225                     
2              1.21    1.55    .705     .425                     
3              4.85    1.55     1.01   .405             For :   V1i     V1f      V2i      V2f
1        .907   .705     .567    .225                        Initial momentum (Pi ) = m1 V1i   + m2  V2i                                      = (0.19kg) (0.907)   +  (0.1999kg)(0.567)                                                                       = 0.287 kg - m/s ------------------(1) Final momentum (Pf ) =    m1 V1f  + m2 V2f
                                   =   (0.19kg)(0.705)   +  (0.1999kg) (0.225)                                    = 0.179 kg-m/s -----------(2) Inital energy (Ei )  =  1/2 m1 V1i2   + 1/2m2  V2i2  ----------------(3) Final energy is (Ef) =  1/2 m1 V1f 2 +1/2 m2V2f 2 ---------------(4) plug the values and solve to get (Ei ) & (Ef) . |Pi-Pf|  =  0.179 kg-m/s - 0.287 kg -m/s    =   0.108 kg - m /s Equation (3) - (4) gives : |Ei-Ef|
plug the values and solve to get (Ei ) & (Ef) . |Pi-Pf|  =  0.179 kg-m/s - 0.287 kg -m/s    =   0.108 kg - m /s Equation (3) - (4) gives : |Ei-Ef|
Similarly do it for  another two sequences. Hope this helps u!
