Chapter 3 Example of 2D Collision

1) A 200g tennis ball moving at 15 m/s collides with a stationary 800g ball. 2) After collision, the tennis ball moves at 5 m/s at an angle of 45 degrees. 3) Using conservation of momentum and kinetic energy, the final velocity of the struck 800g ball is calculated to be 3 m/s at an angle of 17 degrees.

Elastic collision in two dimensions
By conservation of momentum ; y
Momentum along x-axis :
(pbc )x = (pac )x
u1 u2 = 0
m1u1x = m1v1x + m2v2x x
m1
m1u1 = m1v1 cos 1 + m2v2 cos 2 m2
Momentum along y-axis :
(pbc )y = (pac )y y v1y v

0 = m1v1y - m2v2y v1x
m1v1y = m2v2y 1
m1v1 sin 1 = m2v2 sin 2 2 x

By conservation of kinetic energy; v2x

m1u12 = m1v12 + m2v22 v2y v2

m1u12 = m1v12 + m2v22 2


Elastic collision in two dimensions

Example 3.2.8
A 200 g tennis ball moving with a speed
of 15 ms-1 collides with a stationary ball
of 800 g in an elastic collision. The tennis
ball is scattered at an angle of 45o from
its original direction with speed of 5 ms-1.
Find the final velocity (magnitude and
direction) of the struck ball.

u1 = 15 ms-1 Elastic collision in two dimensions
v1 = 5 ms-1 Example 3.2.8
m1 = 200g m2 = 800g 1 = 45o, 2 = ?, v2 = ?
Conservation of momentum along x-axis :
(pbc )x = (pac )x
m1u1 = m1v1 cos 1 + m2v2 cos 2
0.2(15) = 0.2(5 cos 45o )+ 0.8 (v2 cos 2 )
0.8 v2 cos 2 = 3 - 0.2(5 cos 45o )
v2 cos 2 = 2.866 (i)
Conservation of momentum along y-axis :
( pbc )y = ( pac )y
0 = m1v1 sin 1 - m2v2 sin 2
m1v1 sin 1 = m2v2 sin 2
0.2(5 sin 45o ) = 0.8 v2 sin 2
0.8 v2 sin 2 = 0.2(5 sin 45o )
v2 sin 2 = 0.884 (ii) 5
