To solve these problems, we can use the principle of conservation of linear momentum. According to this principle, the total momentum before the collision should be equal to the total momentum after the collision if no external forces act on the system.
The momentum of an object can be calculated by multiplying its mass and velocity.
Let's start with the first problem:
Problem 1:
A 0.500-kg sphere with a velocity of (2.00i - 3.00j + 1.00k) m/s strikes another sphere of mass 1.50 kg with a velocity of (-1.00i + 2.00j - 3.00k) m/s. After the collision, the velocity of the 0.500-kg sphere is (-1.00i + 3.00j - 8.00k) m/s. We need to find the final velocity of the 1.50kg sphere and identify the type of collision.
Let's assign variables to the velocities:
Initial velocity of sphere 1 (0.500 kg) = u1
Initial velocity of sphere 2 (1.50 kg) = u2
Final velocity of sphere 1 (0.500 kg) = v1
Final velocity of sphere 2 (1.50 kg) = v2
Using the principle of conservation of momentum, we can write the equation as:
(m1 * u1) + (m2 * u2) = (m1 * v1) + (m2 * v2)
Plugging in the given values:
(0.500 kg * (2.00i - 3.00j + 1.00k) m/s) + (1.50 kg * (-1.00i + 2.00j - 3.00k) m/s) = (0.500 kg * (-1.00i + 3.00j - 8.00k) m/s) + (1.50 kg * v2)
Now, solve this equation to find v2, the final velocity of the 1.50 kg sphere.
To identify the type of collision, we can calculate the coefficient of restitution (e), which is the ratio of the relative velocity of separation to the relative velocity of approach.
e = (v2 - u2) / (u1 - u2)
If e is 1, it's an elastic collision.
If e is between 0 and 1, it's an inelastic collision.
If e is 0, it's a perfectly inelastic collision.
Solve for e to identify the type of collision.
With the given final velocity of the 0.500-kg sphere and the initial velocity of the 1.50-kg sphere:
v1 = (-1.00i + 3.00j - 8.00k) m/s
u2 = (-1.00i + 2.00j - 3.00k) m/s
Compute the values of v2 and e to determine the type of collision.
The same procedure can be followed for Problem 2 and Problem 3 with their respective given velocities. Just substitute the values in the equations and solve for the unknowns.
