MULTISTEP A 3.0-kg block is traveling in the direction at

Chapter , Problem 92

(choose chapter or problem)

MULTISTEP A 3.0-kg block is traveling in the direction at and a 1.0-kg block is traveling in the direction at (a) Find the velocity of the center of mass. (b) Subtract from the velocity of each block to find the velocity of each block in the center-of-mass reference frame. (c) After they make a head-on elastic collision, the velocity of each block is reversed (in the centerof- mass frame). Find the velocity of each block in the center-ofmass frame after the collision. (d) Transform back into the original frame by adding to the velocity of each block. (e) Check your result by finding the initial and final kinetic energies of the blocks in the original frame and comparing them.
