1- A ball with mass M, moving horizontally at 2.8 m/s, collides elastically with a block with mass 3.6M that is initially hanging at rest from the ceiling on the end of a 58-cm wire. Find the maximum angle through which the block swings after it is hit, in degrees.
2- A 0.15 kg glider is moving to the right on a frictionless, horizontal air track with a speed of 0.72 m/s. It has a head-on collision with a 0.30 kg glider that is moving to the left with a speed of 0.36m/s. Suppose the collision is elastic. Find the magnitude of the final velocity (in m/s) of the 0.150kg glider.
1.
mb = mass of the ball = M
mB = mass of the block = 3.6 M
vbo = initial velocity of ball before collision = 2.8 m/s
vb = velocity of ball after collision
VB = velocity of the block after collision
Using conservation of momentum
mb vbo = mb vb + mB VB
M (2.8) = M vb + (3.6) M VB
2.8 = vb + (3.6) VB
vb = 2.8 - (3.6) VB Eq-1
using conservation of kinetic energy
mb v2bo = mb v2b + mB V2B
M (2.8)2 = M v2b + (3.6) M V2B
(2.8)2 = v2b + (3.6) V2B
Using eq-1
(2.8)2 = (2.8 - (3.6) VB )2 + (3.6) V2B
VB = 1.22 m/s
h = height gained by the block
Using conservation of energy for the block after the collision
Kinetic energy at the bottom just after collision = potential energy gained by the block
(0.5) mB VB2 = mB g h
h = (0.5) VB2 /g
h = (0.5) (1.22)2 /9.8
h = 0.076 m
= angle through which the block swings
L = length of the wire = 58 cm = 0.58 m
height gained is also given as
h = L (1 - cos)
0.076 = 0.58 (1 - cos)
cos = 0.87
= Cos-1(0.87)
= 29.5 deg

A 0.15 kg glider is moving to the right on a frictionless, horizontal air track with a speed of 0.72 m/s. It has a head-on collision with a 0.30 kg glider that is moving to the left with a speed of 0.36m/s. Suppose the collision is elastic. Find the magnitude of the final velocity (in m/s) of the 0.150kg glider. ( I got -.78 not sure where I went wrong)
A cue ball moving at 2.8 m/s collides elastically with a stationary 8 ball of identical mass. The 8 ball then moves away at an angle of 28 degrees from the direction of the incoming cue ball. What is the speed of the cue ball after the elastic collision?
