Question

A collision between two stones (in curling) of equal mass occurs. The stone m2 is initially at rest. After the collision, the stone that was thrown, m1, has a speed of 0.57 m/s in a direction represented by theta degrees above the x-axis. The stone m2 acquires a velocity of 0.23 m/s at an angle of phi = 21 degrees below the axis. Determine the initial velocity of the thrown stone m1.

Step 1

The law of conservation of momentum states that the total momentum before the collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision. The total momentum before the collision is just the momentum of the thrown stone m1, because m2 is at rest. Let's denote Show more…
