1.
Two particles, and , with masses and respectively, are moving in the same direction along the same straight line when they collide directly. Immediately before they collide, is moving with speed and is moving with speed . Immediately after they collide, both particles are moving in the same direction and the speed of is four times the speed of .
(a) Find the speed of immediately after the collision.
(b) Find the magnitude of the impulse exerted by on in the collision.
(c) State clearly the direction of this impulse.

两个质点 和 的质量分别为 和 ,沿同一直线同向运动并发生正碰。碰撞前一瞬间, 的速率为 , 的速率为 。碰撞后瞬间,两个质点仍同向运动,且 的速率为 的速率的四倍。
(a) 求碰撞后瞬间 的速率。
(b) 求碰撞过程中 对 施加的冲量的大小。
(c) 清楚说明该冲量的方向。
解答
(a)
解法一

Take the initial direction of motion as positive. Let the velocities of and after impact be and . Conservation of momentum gives
Thus , so . Hence the speed of is

The impulse on is
The impulse exerted by on is opposite to , so its magnitude is .
(c)
解法一
思路
展开
所选正方向与运动方向相同,而 所受冲量为负,所以它与运动方向相反。
