Exam Example 18: The Ballistic Pendulum(example 8.8, problem 8.43) y A block, with mass M = 1 kg, is suspended by a massless wire of length L=1m and, after completely inelastic collision with a bullet with mass m = 5 g, swings up to a maximum height y = 10 cm. L Vtop=0 Find: (a) velocity v of the block with the bullet immediately after impact; (b) tension force T immediately after impact; (c) initial velocity vx of the bullet. Solution: (a) Conservation of mechanical energy K+U=const (b) Newton’s second law yields (c) Momentum conservation for the collision
Exam Example 20: Head-on elastic collision (problems 8.48, 8.50) Data: m1, m2, v01x, v02x Find: (a) v1x, v2x after collision; (b) Δp1x, Δp2x , ΔK1, ΔK2 ; (c) xcm at t = 1 min after collision if at a moment of collision xcm(t=0)=0 V01x y’ V02x m1 X’ m2 Solution: In a frame of reference moving with V02x, we have V’01x= V01x- V02x, V’02x = 0, and conservations of momentum and energy yield m1V’1x+m2V’2x=m1V’01x→ V’2x=(m1/m2)(V’01x-V’1x) m1V’21x+m2V’22x=m1V’201x→ (m1/m2)(V’201x-V’21x)=V’22x= (m1/m2)2(V’01x- V’1x)2→ V’01x+V’1x=(m1/m2)(V’01x–V’1x)→ V’1x=V’01x(m1-m2)/(m1+m2) and V’2x=V’01x2m1/(m1+m2) (a) returning back to the original laboratory frame, we immediately find: V1x= V02x+(V01x– V02x)(m1-m2)/(m1+m2) and V2x = V02x +(V01x– V02x)2m1/(m1+m2) 0 X (a)Another solution: In 1-D elastic collision a relative velocity switches direction V2x-V1x=V01x-V02x. Together with momentum conservation it yields the same answer. (b) Δp1x=m1(V1x-V01x), Δp2x=m2(V2x-V02x) → Δp1x=-Δp2x(momentum conservation) ΔK1=K1-K01=(V21x-V201x)m1/2, ΔK2=K2-K02=(V22x-V202x)m2/2→ΔK1=-ΔK2(E=const) • xcm = (m1x1+m2x2)/(m1+m2) and Vcm = const = (m1V01x+m2V02x)/(m1+m2) → xcm(t) = xcm(t=0) + Vcm t = t (m1V01x+m2V02x)/(m1+m2)
