If you have EK 1001 Physics, glance at #400 to 409:
Do you think you could answer these questions on intuition alone? It seems fairly complex. Many of these questions could be answered using the graph EK provides, but I'm not sure if it's worth memorizing. What do you think?
Here's two sample questions for those that don't have the book:
A small object moving at 10 m/s to the right collides with a heavier object that is initially stationary. Which of the following is NOT a possible velocity of the smaller object after the collision?
A. 1 m/s to the right
B. 5 m/s to the right
C. 1 m/s to the left
D. 5 m/s to the left
(This question refers to a diagram where a Bob is swung from a height h and allowed to collide with a second bob (m2) at rest. Both bobs are the same size):
As the mass of m1 becomes much greater than m2, what is the maximum velocity that can be reached by m1 after the collision? (Note: Assume a completely elastic collision.)
A. 0 m/s
B. v
C. 2v
D. The maximum velocity is infinite
The answers to these questions is: B for question 1 and 2
