Q4: semi-elastic
Two hovercraft are on a collision course. They both have the same mass (m) and they are
approaching the crash point at speeds of 1.0m/s and 2.0m/s respectively. They bump and
rebound. The 1st hovercraft has a post-crash speed of 1.5m/s directed away from the crash (to the
left). What is the final velocity of the second craft?
1.0m/s before 2.0m/s
1.5m/s after ????.
Q5: Inelastic
A comet of mass 3.10x103kg and velocity +501m/s ploughs into a stationary asteroid of
mass 7.95x104kg where it buries itself in the cratered surface. What is the velocity of the
asteroid/comet combination after the incident?
