In an Elastic Collision Between Two Bodies of Mass M1 θ\theta

Question 70

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 θ\theta relative to the direction of its initial velocity and mass 2 at angle ϕ\phi .An exam paper shows the equations below: m1v1i
0
= m1v1f cos θ\theta + m2v2f sin ϕ\phi
= m1v1f sin θ\theta + m2v2f cos ϕ\phi
What error(s) has the student made?


A) In the first equation,m2v2f sin ϕ\phi should be m2v2f cos ϕ\phi .
B) In the second equation,m2v2f cos ϕ\phi should be m2v2f sin ϕ\phi .
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.
