The angle above the horizontal of the motion of mass A + B after the collision. as well as others are mathematically given as

  • [tex]\theta f = 26.3 \deg[/tex]
  • vf/vA= 0.94
  • 2vf^2 / 5vA^2 = 0.35

What is  Collison equilibrium?

According to the collision hypothesis of chemistry, chemical reactions happen when two molecules or atoms collide.

Generally, the equation for Collison equilibrium is  mathematically given as

For horizontal motion

mvAx+m2vAx = 2mvfx

For vertical motion

-mvAy+m2vAy = 2mvfy

vfy = 1/2 vAy

[tex]\tan \theta f = vfy/vfx \\\\\tan \theta f = 1/3 vAy/vAx \\\\\tan \theta f = vAy/vAx \\\\\theta f = tan-1 ( 1/3 tan (56) )\\\\[/tex]

[tex]\theta f = 26.3 \deg[/tex]

(b)

[tex]v fy = vf sin \theta f\\\\vAy = vA sin theta i\\\\vf/vA = vfy/vAy sin( \theta i)/sin(\theta f)\\\\vf/vA = 1/2 sin(56)/sin(26.3) \\\\[/tex]

vf/vA= 0.94

(c)

[tex]Ef/Ei = \frac{(1/2 * (2m) * (vf)^2) }{ (1/2 * m * (vA)^2) + 1/2*m*(2vA)^2) ]}[/tex]

2vf^2 / 5vA^2 = 0.35

In conclusion, The angle above the horizontal of the motion of mass A + B after the collision. as well as others

[tex]\theta f = 26.3 \deg[/tex]

vf/vA= 0.94

2vf^2 / 5vA^2 = 0.35
