Particle Collision

Particle Collision#

A particle of mass 6 \(kg\) is travelling with velocity 14 \(\frac{m}{s}\hat{\imath}\) when it collides with another particle of mass 2 \(kg\) travelling with velocity 15 \(\frac{m}{s}\hat{\jmath}\).

Part 1#

The \(x\)-component of the initial momentum of this system is:

Answer Section#

  • 84 \(kg\) \(\dfrac{m}{s}\hat{\imath}\)

  • 30 \(kg\) \(\dfrac{m}{s}\hat{\imath}\)

  • 30 \(kg\) \(\dfrac{m}{s}\hat{\jmath}\)

  • 30 \(kg\) \(\dfrac{m}{s}\hat{\imath}\) + 84 \(kg\) \(\dfrac{m}{s}\hat{\jmath}\)

  • 84 \(kg\) \(\dfrac{m}{s}\hat{\jmath}\)

  • 84 \(kg\) \(\dfrac{m}{s}\hat{\imath}\) + 30 \(kg\) \(\dfrac{m}{s}\hat{\jmath}\)
