Question

a.)        Is momentum conservedin the x direction? Why or why not? If so, set up the x momentumconservation equation.

b.)        Is momentum conservedin the y direction? Why or why not? If so, set up the y momentumconservation equation.

c.)        Is energyconserved before the collision? Why or why not? If so, set up theenergy conservation equation (write an equation for the speed justbefore collision in terms of h).

d.)        Is energyconserved after the collision? Why or why not? If so, set up theenergy conservation equation (write an equation for the speed justafter collision in terms of hF).

e.)        Is energyconserved during the collision? Why or why not? If so, set up theenergy conservation equation. If not, calculate the energy loss.(Hint: use the answers from parts c and d).

f.)        List the completeset of equations derived from these principles. Explain how tosolve for qF in terms of q0 and h.

Explanation / Answer

a.)        Is momentum conservedin the x direction? Why or why not? If so, set up the x momentumconservation equation.

yes .it is inelastic collision

b.)        Is momentum conservedin the y direction? Why or why not? If so, set up the y momentumconservation equation.

yes .it is inelastic collision

c.)        Is energyconserved before the collision? Why or why not? If so, set up theenergy conservation equation (write an equation for the speed justbefore collision in terms of h).

no.it is inelastic collision

d.)        Is energyconserved after the collision? Why or why not? If so, set up theenergy conservation equation (write an equation for the speed justafter collision in terms of hF).

no..it is inelastic collision

e.)        Is energyconserved during the collision? Why or why not? If so, set up theenergy conservation equation. If not, calculate the energy loss.(Hint: use the answers from parts c and d).

no..it is inelastic collision
