Randall D. Knight β Impulse and Momentum: Problem 57
FIGURE P11.57 shows a block of mass \( m \) sliding along a frictionless surface with speed \( v_m \). It collides with a block of mass \( M \) that is hanging as a pendulum on a massless rod of length \( L \). The other end of the rod is attached to a frictionless pivot. Find an expression for the \( v_m \) that will allow the pendulum to barely go over the top if the collision is (a) perfectly inelastic or (b) perfectly elastic.
π Solution Approach
Find: (a) perfectly inelastic or; (b) perfectly elastic
