Confusion with non-head-on elastic collisions - Physics Forums I’m having trouble trying to interpret a non-head-on elastic collision of two objects (##m_1 = m_2## and ##m_1 \neq m_2##), either when one is at rest or they’re approaching one another I’m able to find their final velocities and comprobe that Momentum and KE are conserved, but there is something I still don’t understand
Is it better to accelerate into a head on collision? - Physics Forums Under the basis that in a car accident, it isn't the "Crash" that kills you, but the stop (inertia) If you were to be involved in a head on collision with an equally similar car, would it be best to slow down and brake, or accelerate into the car This plays off the concept of two cars traveling 50 mph would have a combined force of 100 mph
Understanding Head-On Collisions: Elastic vs. Inelastic Impact of . . . Head-on collision HELP! Homework Statement Consider a head-on collision between two objects Object 1, which has mass m1, is initially in motion, and collides head-on with object 2, which has mass m2, and is initially at rest Which of the following statements about the collision are true
Inelastic Head-On Collision: Understanding Momentum and Kinetic Energy An inelastic head-on collision is a type of collision in which two objects collide and stick together after impact, resulting in a loss of kinetic energy This is in contrast to an elastic collision, where the objects bounce off each other and there is no loss of kinetic energy
Solving a Head-On Collision: Algebra Problem - Physics Forums A glider of mass 0 141 kg is moving to the right on a frictionless, horizontal air track with a speed of 0 740 m s It has a head-on collision with a glider 0 310 kg that is moving to the left with a speed of 2 16 m s Suppose the collision is elastic Find the magnitude of the final velocity of the 0 141 kg glider
Head on Collision with a car physics - Physics Forums But what about the two drivers? Do they experience the same forces? Suppose that each vehicle is initially moving at 6 40 m s and that they undergo a perfectly inelastic head-on collision Each driver has mass 81 0 kg Including the drivers, the total vehicle masses are 830 kg for the car and 3800 kg for the truck The collision time is 0 150 s
What is the true impact speed when two cars collide head-on at 50mph? If you have a stationary car and a 100 mph car, the total energy is 4E and the mass is 2M, so each car is dissipating 2E That is going to be a much worse crash To compare the head on collision to someone hitting a stationary car, the moving car would have to be moving at about 70 mph (50[itex]$\sqrt{2}$[ itex]) Apologies if the LaTeX is
What is the angle at which the neutron rebounds? - Physics Forums Homework Statement A neutron collides elastically with a helium nucleus (at rest initially) whose mass is four times that of the neutron The helium nucleus is observed to rebound at an angle Theta2 = 45° from the neutron's initial direction The neutron's initial speed is 6 6x 10^5 m s
Elastic head-on collision problem - Physics Forums In an elastic head-on collision, a 0 60 kg cart moving at 5 0 m s [W] collides with a 0 80 kg cart moving at 2 0 m s [E] The collision is cushioned by a spring (k = 1200 N m) 1 Determine the velocity of each cart after the collision 2 Determine the maximum compression of the spring Relevant Equations n a
Head-on Collision Damage: Comparing 50mph and 100mph Impact Damage Assume the full impact of the head-on collision was into each car and not vectoring away from the impact zone Each car would appear as if it hit something at 50mph Look at a super idealized case: Every 10mph causes the front-end to collapse by 10cm
