Chapter 10: Q16P (page 411)
Object has mass and initial momentum, just before it strikes object B , which has mass . Object B has initial momentum . After the collision, object A is observed to have 铿乶al momentum . In the following questions, 鈥渋nitial鈥 refers to values before the collisions, and 鈥滐瑏nal鈥 refers to values after the collision. Consider a system consisting of both objects and . Calculate the following quantities: (a) The total initial momentum of this system. (b) The 铿乶al momentum of object B. (c) The initial kinetic energy of object A. (d) The initial kinetic energy of object B. (e) The 铿乶al kinetic energy of object A. (f) The 铿乶al kinetic energy of object B. (g) The total initial kinetic energy of the system. (h) The total 铿乶al kinetic energy of the system. (i) The increase of internal energy of the two objects. (j) What assumption did you make about Q (energy 铿俹w from surroundings into the system due to a temperature difference)?
