Rotational Motion Question 113

Question: Two objects that are moving along an xy -plane on a frictionless floor collide. Assume that they form a closed, isolated system. The following table gives some of the momentum components (in kilogram meters per second) before and after the collision. Before collision After collision
Before collision After collision
Object px pY px pY
A -4 5 3 A
B b -2 4 2

What are the missing values (a, b)?

Options:

A) 10, 11

B) 1, 11

C) 5, 7

D) 6, 4

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b]

px(before collision) = px

(after collision) 4+b=3+4b=11

PY (before collision)=PY

(after collision) 52=a+2a=1
