IN THIS CHPTER, you will discuss collisions of two objects Today we are going to discuss: Chater 11: 1D Collisions (Elastic/Inelastic): Section 11.3 D Collisions (Elastic/Inelastic): Section 11.3 Center of Mass: Section 1. Deartment of Physics and lied Physics
Review 1.. Linear momentum: Newton s nd law: mv F m a F d dt (This form is more general) 3. We alied N. nd law to an interaction of objects: If F ext F 0 dp dt Internal forces cancel each other dp, then 0 dt, thus P const P in P fin F ext P dp dt 1 Conservation of linear momentum m v m v m v m v Conservation of momentum Deartment of Physics and lied Physics
Different tyes of collisions Linear momentum is conserved in both of these two-body collisions (since there is no net external force) Is mechanical energy conserved in these collisions? Metal balls get deformed and restored Mech. energy is conserved Elastic collision Cars get deformed and not restored. Some Mech. Energy is sent on deformation. Mech. energy is NOT conserved Inelastic collision Deartment of Physics and lied Physics
Examle allistic Pendulum device used to measure the seed of a bullet. This an examle of inelastic collision. Mechanical Energy here is not conserved. (Lots of energy is used to damage the wooden block.) ut the linear momentum is still conserved.

In the revious examle we discussed the inelastic collision (1D). Linear momentum is conserved Mech. Energy is not conserved = 1-D Elastic Head-On Collisions Now, we are going to discuss an elastic head-on collision (1D). Linear momentum is conserved Mech. Energy is conserved = Deartment of Physics and lied Physics

It is only true for an elastic head-on collision
Examle 1D head-on collision ball of mass 0.0 kg that is moving with a seed of 7.5 m/s collides head-on and elastically with another ball initially at rest. Immediately after the collision, the incoming ball bounces backward with a seed of 3.8 m/s. Calculate: a) the velocity of the target ball after the collision; b) the mass of the target ball. eq-ns Deartment of Physics and lied Physics
Collisions in D You know how to figure out the results of a collision between objects in 1D: -use conservation of momentum- and, -if collision is elastic, conservation of mech. energy. You can continue to use the same rules in D collisions as follows: If If ext F y ext F x 0, then momentum in x - direction is conserved initial x initial y final x 0, then momentum in y - direction is conserved final y Mech. Energy is conserved in elastic collisions (not in each dimension) mv mv ( ) initial ( ) final Deartment of Physics and lied Physics
