In an Elastic Collision Between Two Bodies of Mass M1

question 18

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 relative to the direction of its initial velocity and mass 2 at angle φ. An exam paper shows the equations below: m1v1i
0
= m1v1f cosθ + m²v2f sinφ
= m1v1f sinθ + m²v2f cosφ
What error(s) has the student made?

• A)In the first equation, m²v2f sinφ should be m²v2f cosφ.
• B)In the second equation, m²v2f cosφ should be m²v2f sinφ.
• 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.
