A one-dimensional perfectly elastic collision occurs between two masses on a frictionless surface. The initial kinetic energies of the masses were 10 J and 5 J. After the collision the kinetic energy of one of the masses is 20 J. What is the kinetic energy of the other mass?
For perfectly elastic collision, total kinetic energy of the system before collision is equal to the total kinetic energy of the system after collision.
Above problem is set in such a fashion, where after applying conservation of toatl kinetic energy is applied, one of the particle will end up with negative kinetic energy(-5 J) which entitles that the particles velocity is imaginery( which is absurd). In classical physics kinetic energy is a positively defined function i.e it cannot have negative value, in quatum though negative kinetic energy is defined in case of imaginery momenta of the body, but i dont suppose this is a problem of quantum tunnelling.

Two pucks are sliding on a frictionless surface. There is an elastic collision between the two pucks. The masses of the pucks are: m4 = 0.20 kg, m2 = 0.40 kg. Puck#1 initially moved with a velocity of 5.5" ( + 4.8 Vir 4.8") s After the collision, puck #1 moves at 3.2 m/s in the positive x-direction, and puck #2 moves at 2.6 m/s in the negative y-direction. a.

16. In a perfectly elastic collision Kinetic Energy is conserved for the system. (Remember that elastic collisions are ones where the objects bounce off of each other and don't stick.) On an air hockey table two identical pucks collide. Initially one is at rest and the other is moving with a speed of v. (Hint: How can the concept of momentum help with this problem?) a. What is the speed of each puck after the collision in terms of the...
Two billiard balls of equal mass undergo a perfectly elastic head-on collision. If one ball's initial speed was 1.60 m/s , and the other's was 3.60 m/s in the opposite direction, what will be their speeds after the collision?

Two blocks with masses 0.90 kg and 3.90 kg are placed on a horizontal frictionless surface. A light spring is placed in a horizontal position between the blocks. The blocks are pushed together, compressing the spring, and then released from rest. After the blocks lose contact with the spring ends, the 3.90 kg mass has a speed of 1.00 m/s. The combined final kinetic energies of the blocks was originally stored in the spring. Determine how much potential energy was...

Consider two masses sliding across a frictionless surface about to undergo a head-on collision as shown in the figure. The first mass (m1 =3 kg) is travelling to the right with a speed of v1 = 8 m/s. The speed of the second mass (m2 = 5 kg) is unknown. After the masses collide, ma rebounds moving off at a speed of v = 2 m/s in the opposite direction, while mz is motionless. a)(10 pts.)
