Study Notes

Exercise I

Three balls (A, B, and C) with masses 2 kg, 4 kg, and 8 kg respectively.
Ball A is moving to the left at 3/4 m/s, ball B and C are stationary.
The system is smooth.
The initial momentum of the ball system is 0.
The final momentum of the ball system is also 0.
The velocity after the collision of all balls is calculated.

Exercise II

Similar setup to Exercise I, but with different initial conditions.
Mass of A = 2 kg, Mass of B = 2 kg, Mass of C = 8 kg.
Initial velocities: A = 8/3 m/s, B = 0 m/s, C = 3/4 m/s.
The velocities of the balls are calculated after each collision, utilizing conservation of momentum and kinetic energy.
The time and distance for successive collisions are also calculated.

Description

Test your understanding of momentum with two practical exercises involving three balls of different masses. In the first exercise, analyze the collision of balls moving at specified velocities; in the second, extend your knowledge with a different set of initial conditions. Use conservation of momentum and kinetic energy principles to solve for final velocities.
