problems involving elastic collision in recoil

A collision is said to be an elastic collision if both the kinetic energy and momentum are conserved in the collision. During collision, the bodies are deformed. However, they regain their original shape completely if the collision is ..

Elastic Collision in Two Dimensions (Oblique Collision) - If the colliding bodies do not move along the same straight line path, then the collision is said to be an oblique collision..

If the colliding bodies do not move along the same straight line path, then the collision is said to be an oblique collision..

It is that elastic collision in which the colliding bodies move along the same straight line before and after the collision. Consider two bodies A and B of masses m 1 and m 2 respectively, moving along the same straight line, in the same direction. Let be their respect..

A Karate expert strikes a board of mass 0.14 kg and breaks it, with his fist of mass 0.70 kg. He then does the same to a 3.2 kg concrete block. The spring constant 'k' for bending are, 4.1 x 10 4 N/m for the board and 2.6 x 10 6 N/m for the block. Breaking occurs at a deflection 'd' of 16 mm for th..

Why does a gas exert pressure on the walls of container? Consider only those molecules which are moving horizontally. Each molecule hits the container wall and bounces back with the same speed, because the collision is elastic. The molecule then travels in the opposite directio..

The flash of lightning due to collision of clouds is seen much before the thunder, although both occur simultaneously. This happens because the velocity of light is greater than the velocity of sound. The speed of sound depends on (1) elasticity and (2) density of the medi..
