On a frictionless, horizontal air table, puck A (with mass 0.250 kg ) is moving toward puck B (with mass 0.350 kg ), that is initially at rest. After the collision, puck A has a velocity of 0.121 m/s to the left, and puck B has velocity 0.650 m/s to the right.
A)What was the speed of puck A before the collision?
B)Calculate the change in the total kinetic energy of the system that occurs during the collision.
here,
mass of puck a, ma = 0.250 kg
mass of puck b, mb = 0.350 kg
after collision velocity of puck a, va' = -0.121 m/s
after collision velocity of puck b, vb' = 0.650 m/s
from conservation of momentum, before collision = after collision
ma*va + 0 = ma*va' + mb*vb'
solving for velocity of puck a before collision, va
va = (ma*va' + mb*vb')/ma
va = (0.250*(-0.121) + 0.650*0.350)/0.250
va = 0.789 m/s
Part B:
Kinetic energy before collision, Kei = 0.5*ma*va^2 =
0.5*0.250*0.789^2 = 0.078 J
Kinetic energy after collision, Kef = 0.5*ma*va'^2 + 0.5*mb*vb' = 0.5*0.250*(-0.121)^2 + 0.5*0.350*0.650^2 = 0.076 J
Net Change in KE, KE = 0.078 * 0.076 = 0.002 J
