Linear Momentum Collisions Problems
Example Problem
A billiard ball moving with speed v1= 3.0 m/s in the +x direction strikes an equal mass ball initially at
rest. The two balls are observed to move off at 45˚, ball 1 above the x axis and ball below. That is ø1
= 45˚ and ø2 = -45˚. What are the speeds of the two balls after the collision.

Linear Momentum Collisions Problems
Example Problem
A very common practical situation is for moving object (m1) to strike a second object (m2- the target)
at rest (v2= 0). Assume the objects have unequal masses and the collision occurs along a line (head-
on) A) derive equations for v2’ and v1’ in terms of the initial velocity v1 of mass m1 and the masses
m1 and m2. B) determine the final velocities if the moving object is much more massive than the
target (m1>> m2). C) determine the final velocities if the moving object is much less massive than the
target (m1 << m2)

Linear Momentum Collisions Problems
Example Problem
The ballistic pendulum is a device used to measure the speed of a projectile, such as a bullet. The
projectile of mass m is fired into a large block of mass M, which is suspended like a pendulum

swings up to a maximum height h. Determine the relationship between the initial horizontal speed of
the projectile v and the height h
