Answer #1

here,

the speed of second mass , v2 = 2.1 * speed of first mass

v2 = 2.1 * v1

as they have same kinetic energy

KE1 = KE2

0.5 * m1 * v1^2 = 0.5 * m2 * v2^2

m1 /m2 = (v2 / v1)^2

m1 /m2 = ( 2.1 v1 /v1)^2

m1 /m2 = 4.41

the ratio of masses is 4.41

    Two objects with masses represented by m1 and m2 approach each other on a horizontal frictionless table with the same constant speed, v0, as measured by a laboratory observer. The objects undergo a perfectly elastic collision, and it is observed that after the collision, m2 moves off in a direction opposite its original motion with some constant speed v, and m1 is stationary. Determine the following. (a) the ratio of the two masses, m1/m2 (b) the ratio of their speeds,...

    One object is moving and one object is at rest. The two objects then collide in a dimensional, completely inelastic collision. So the two objects stick together after the collision and move off with a common velocity. Momentum of the two-object system is conserved. The masses of the two objects are 5.00 kg and 8.50 kg, respectively. The speed of the moving object masses 5.00 kg before the collision is 22.5 m/sec. Find the final speed of the two-object system...
