Question

Click Stop Using the slider set the following: coeff of restitution to 1.00 A velocity (m/s) to 6.0 A mass (kg) to 6.0 B velocity (m/s) to 0.0 Calculate what range can the mass of B be to cause mass A to bounce off after the collision. Calculate what range can the mass of B be to cause mass A to continue forward after the collision. Check your calculations with the simulation. What are the ranges of B mass (kg)

Answer 1

`M_b=6kg`

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Coefficient of restitution
`\mu=1.00`

Mass A
`M_a=6kg`

Initial Velocity of A
`U_a=6m/s`

Initial Velocity of B
`U_b=0m/s`

Generally the equation for Coefficient of restitution is mathematically given by

`\mu=(V_b-V_a)/(U_a-U_b)`

`1=(v_B)/(6)`

`V_b=6*1`

`V_b=6m/s`

Generally the equation for conservation of linear momentum is mathematically given by

`M_aU_a+M_bU_b=M_aV_a+M_bV_b`

`6*6+=M_b*6`

`M_b=6kg`
