Absolutely amazing explanation Quinzio, a lot more work shown than I would have expected too! I'm definitely going to take an hour to review this thoroughly, thanks a ton.
Homework Statement
A spherical asteroid of mass m0 and radius, R, initially moving at speed v0, encounters a stationary cloud of dust. As the asteroid moves through the cloud, it collects all the dust that it hits, and slows down as a result. Ignore the increase in radius of the asteroid...
Hi, here's my problem.
A particle of m1 and initial speed v0 strikes a stationary particle of mass m2, and scatters at 30 degrees to its original direction with speed v0/3. Find the angle, in degrees, between the directions of the two particles after the collision.
I found that the...
