Once again we have two sliders, masses m and m, on a horizontal air-track, so negligible horizontal forces, and
vertical forces add to zero. The right hand mass is travelling to the right at speed v, being followed by the other at
speed 3v. A spring between them guarantees an elastic collision. After the collision, what are the velocities of the
two sliders? Hint: what is the frame of reference that makes this into an easy problem?
Speed of left hand mass after the collision
Speed of right hand mass after the collision,
Please enter your answer in terms of the initial speeds of the two sliders and please enter very simple expressions
for the two speeds separated by a comma. Example: a,b
In the slingshot effect, the transfer of energy in an elastic collision is used to power a space probeprobe so that it can escape from the solar system. All velocity values are relative to an inertialinertial reference in which the center of the Sun remains at rest. Fig. 1(b) below shows a space probemoving at 10.4 km/s towards Saturn, which in turn is moving at 9.6 km/s towards the probe. Due todue to the gravitational force between Saturn and the probe, the probe goes around Saturn and moves in the opposite direction with speed vf .velocity vf . (a) Assuming this collision is one-dimensional and elastic, and the mass if Saturn is much greater than that of the probe, determine vfthat of the probe, determine vf . (b) By what factor does the kinetic energy increase? (c) Where does this energy come from?
We have two spheres (m and M) that are separated by a small distance; m is to the left of M. A sphere of mass m (identical to one of the two initial spheres) is moving towards m at a speed V0. Show that when M is smaller than or equal to m, there will be 2 collisions and calculate the final speeds. Show that when M is larger than m, there will be three collisions and calculate the final velocities.

Suppose a 5600 kg satellite uses this method to separate from the 1800 kg remains of its launcher, and that 7000 J of kinetic energy is supplied to the two parts. What are their subsequent velocities (in m/s) using the frame of reference in which they were at rest before separation? (Assume the final velocity of the satellite is in the positive direction.
