MOMENTUM Example

A stationary m2 was hit by a rolling m1. Find the final

velocity of the two marbles if the two stuck together
after collision.
Given: m1= 1kg, m2= 5kg, V1i= 7m/s V2i= 0m/s

MOMENTUM Example
Two marbles, of different velocity with opposite
direction, collides one another and is moving
heading to +x direction. Find the velocity after
collision.
Given: m1= 1kg, m2= 5kg, V1i= 7m/s V2i= 1m/s

MOMENTUM Example

Two marbles, of different and opposing velocity,

collides one another, and is now heading in
opposite direction as shown. Find the new velocity
of m2 if m1 has a new velocity of 4m/s.
Given: m1= 1kg, m2= 5kg, V1i= 7m/s V2i= 3m/s

MOMENTUM Example

An SUV with mass 1.8x103 kg is traveling

eastbound at +15.0 m/s, while a compact
car with mass 9x102 kg is traveling
westbound at -15.0 m/s.The cars collide
head-on, becoming entangled.
(a) Find the speed of the entangled cars
after the collision.
(b) Find the change in the velocity of each
car.
(c) Find the change in the kinetic energy
of the system consisting of both cars.

COLLISION IN TWO
DIMENSION
Momentum is a vector quantity, however, and
in two dimensions the x and y components of
the total momentum are conserved
separately.
