To understand how to find the velocities of objects after a collision. There are two main types of collisions that you will study: perfectly elastic collisions and perfectly inelastic collisions. When two objects collide elastically, both total kinetic energy and total momentum are conserved. These two conservation laws allow the final motion of the two objects to be determined. When two objects collide inelastically, total momentum is conserved, but the total kinetic energy is not conserved. After an inelastic collision the two objects are stuck together, and thus travel with the same final velocity; this fact, together with conservation of momentum, allows the final motion of the two objects to be calculated.
In reality, there is a range of collision types, with elastic and perfectly inelastic at the extreme ends. These extreme cases allow for a more straightforward analysis than the in-between cases. The applet at the end of the problem will give you a chance to explore the "in-between" collisions.
Let two objects of equal mass collide. Object 1 has initial velocity , directed to the right, and object 2 is initially stationary.
Part A
If the collision is perfectly elastic, what are the final velocities and of objects 1 and 2?
Give the velocity v_1 of object one, followed by object v_2 of object two, seperated by a camma. Express each velocity in terms of v.
Part B
Now suppose that the collision is perfectly inelastic. What are the velocities v_1 and V_2 of the two objects after the collision.
Give the velocity v_1 of object one, followed by object v_2 of object two, seperated by a camma. Express each velocity in terms of v.
Part C
Now assume that the mass of object 1 is 2m, while the mass of object 2 remains m . If the collision is elastic, what are the final velocities v_1 and v_2 of objects 1 and 2?
Give the velocity v_1 of object one, followed by object v_2 of object two, seperated by a camma. Express each velocity in terms of v.
Part D
Let the mass of object 1 be and the mass of object 2 be . If the collision is perfectly inelastic, what are the velocities of the two objects after the collision?
Give the velocity v_1 of object one, followed by object v_2 of object two, seperated by a camma. Express each velocity in terms of v.

Very large accelerations can injure the body, especially if they last for a considerable length of time. one model used to gauge the likelihood of injury is the severity index ( ), defined as =/ . in the expression, is the duration of the accleration, but is not equal to the acceleration. rather, is a dimensionless constant that = the number of multiples of that the acceleration is equal to.in one set of studies of rear-end collisions, a person's velocity increases by 13.7 km/h with an acceleration of 36.0 m/s2 . let the + direction point in the direction the car is traveling. what is the severity index for the collision?

A250-n box is at rest on a frictionless horizotal floor. then a person shoves the box with a non-zero force of magnitude p. which statement best describes the relationship betweeen p and the motion of the box after it was shoved? -the box will not move when p< 250n but otherwise will accelerate at a constant rate that is directly proportional to p - the box will begin moving at a speed that is directly proportional to p, then will gradually slow to a halt -the box will move with constant velocity at a speed that is directly proportional to p -box will accelerate across the floor at a constant rate that is directly proportional to p
