Chapter 3.3, Problem 2bT
A second experiment is performed in which glider D is fixed in place. Glider C is launched toward glider D with the same velocity as in the first experiment, and it rebounds with the same speed that it had initially.
- In the spaces provided, draw separate free-body diagrams for each glider and for the system of the two gliders at an instant during the collision in this second experiment.
Explain how the fact that glider D is fixed in place is reflected in your free-body diagrams.

Object A traveling east at 4 m/s collides with object B traveling west at 2 m/s. Object A has mass 2 kg and object B has mass 5 kg. The collsion takes place in one dimension, and is elastic. Taking east to be positive, how do I find the final velocity of object A? (Note : There is no given final velocity for object B in the problem) (If you could show a step by step diagram, that would be greatly appreciated, no rush)
During an elastic collision, a proton with a velocity of 5000m/s (forward) undergoes a head on collision with an alpha particle (composed of two protons and two neutrons) with a velocity of 2000m/s (backward). Determine the final velocities of the subatomic particles. Assume forward is positive. Show all your steps please.
A 5-kilogram block slides at 20 m/s on a smooth frictionless surface toward a
stationary sphere, shown below. The sphere is 4 times the mass of the block. The
block strikes the sphere at time t-D0. A plot of the force exerted on the CUBE by
the ball as a function of time is shown above right.
