TopicMomentum and Collisions 1

1 Two stones, A and B , are sliding along the same straight line on a horizontal sheet of ice. Stone A, of mass 50 kg , is moving with a constant velocity of \(2.1 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) towards stone B. Stone B, of mass 70 kg , is moving with a constant velocity of \(0.8 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) towards stone A. A and B collide directly. Immediately after their collision stone A's velocity is \(0.35 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) in the same direction as its velocity before the collision.
  1. Find the speed of stone B immediately after the collision.
  2. Find the coefficient of restitution for the collision.
  3. Find the total loss of kinetic energy caused by the collision.
  4. Explain whether the collision was perfectly elastic.
