Multiple Choice
In an elastic collision between two bodies of mass m1 and m2,with m2 initially at rest,mass 1 moves off at angle relative to the direction of its initial velocity and mass 2 at angle .An exam paper shows the equations below: m1v1i
0
= m1v1f cos + m2v2f sin
= m1v1f sin + m2v2f cos
What error(s) has the student made?
A) In the first equation,m2v2f sin should be m2v2f cos .
B) In the second equation,m2v2f cos should be m2v2f sin .
C) In the second equation,the plus sign between the terms on the right should be a minus sign.
D) All of the errors listed above.
E) Only errors (a) and (b) above.
