Two objects with different masses collide and stick to each other. Compared to before the collision, the system of two objects after the collision has ¡ ¡ ¡ A. the same total momentum and the same total kinetic energy. B. the same total momentum but less total kinetic energy. C. less total momentum but the same total kinetic energy. D. less total momentum and less total kinetic energy. E. not enough information given to decide
Two objects with different masses collide and bounce off each other. Compared to before the collision, the system of two objects after the collision has ¡ ¡ ¡ A. the same total momentum and the same total kinetic energy. B. the same total momentum but less total kinetic energy. C. less total momentum but the same total kinetic energy. D. less total momentum and less total kinetic energy. E. the same momentum, but not enough information to decide about kinetic energy
Types of collisions Totally inelastic -bodies stick together -the maximum possible amount of kinetic energy is lost (transformed) Inelastic -some kinetic Energy is lost Elastic -kinetic energy is conserved
Totally Inelastic collisions ¡ ¡ ¡ Momentum conservation Maximum energy loss Very easy to find the final velocity in any dimensions Maximum possible energy loss!
Elastic collisions ¡ ¡ ¡ Momentum conservation Energy conservation In 1 D – enough to find the final velocities In 2 D and 3 D we need extra information In 2 D : 3 equations for 4 unknowns – we need to know the direction or the magnitude of one of the final velocities
Playing with elastic collisions in 1 D
Elastic compared to inelastic
“Lucky” Collision ? ¡ ¡ ¡ Two streets cross at an angle q. At the intersection a car with mass m 1 and speed v 1 collides with a truck with mass m 2 and speed v 2. The two vehicles bounce and the car continues along the street where the truck was going to go, and the truck continues along the street where the car was going to go. Ignoring the friction with the road, during the collision, what were the velocities of the two vehicles just after the collision? If m 2=2 m 1 and v 1=3 v 2, what percent of the initial kinetic energy of the vehicles has turned into energy of deformation and heath? y v 2’ v 2 q v 1’ x

Rain starts to fall vertically in a railway car that was moving with velocity v. What is going to happen with the velocity of the car? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. It will increase, horizontal momentum is conserved It will decrease, vertical momentum is conserved It will increase, total energy is conserved It will stay the same, because vertical drops do not add to the horizontal momentum
