When two objects collide the total momentum (p) is conserved:
as is the kinetic energy (KE):
A scientist has setup a collision experiment to find the mass of any 3 exotic particles by colliding them in pairs. The collisions are 1D, and the particles always collide, and everything is nonrelativistic, frictionless)
The experiment is as follows:
In the first collision particle A collides with particle B and the total momentum after is found via a sensor
In the second collision a second particle A collides with particle C and the total momentum after is found via a sensor
The scientists know the input speeds for all particles, but it is always different.
All particles hit an energy sensor and total KE is found.
Setup a Python program for our scientist to easily change velocities of the particles, kinetic energy and get the masses of the balls.
The scientist has given you a set of data to test with:
Velocity (m/s) | Velocity (m/s) | Momentum (kg m/s) | |
Collision 1 | 5 | -3 | 15 |
Collision 2 | 15 | 2 | 200 |
Final Kinetic Energy = 1000J
Hint: You probably need to write down some equations here. Think matrix!
