In an Elastic Collision Between Two Bodies of Mass M₁

question 26

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:
M₁v_1i
0
= m₁v_1f cosθ + m₂v_2f sinφ
= m₁v_1f sinθ + m₂v_2f cosφ
What error(s) has the student made?

• A)In the first equation,m₂v_2f sinφ should be m₂v_2f cosφ.
• B)In the second equation,m₂v_2f cosφ should be m₂v_2f 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.
