collision.... pls.. help...

2 particles in air are in projectile motion having masses M1 and M2 and velocity v1 and v2 at t=t0; collide at t=t1 ; their velocity becomes v1' and v2' at t=2t1,
then [(M1v1' - M2v2') - (M1v1 - M2v2)] is ????

Is the answer 2gt1(M1+M2)

I think it's a kind of double projectile.. HEHE

as momentum during collision does not change.. so, we can simply write ΔP = FΔt

=> P(t = 2t1) - P(t =0) = Fext*(2t1)
=> value required = (M1 + M2)g*2t1 (as F = external F on system = M1g + M2g)

i have a very silly questn...

pls... answer this...

as during a collision, the momentum does not change..
thus, final momentum = intial momentum...

so. aint the answer be zero...

Aren't the velocities different?

final momentum = intial momentum... is correct.

But how are concluding yourself to 0, I don't know. Please refer to text books again as if don't seem to have right concepts.

yes......... i was just washed out of my cncepts ( though i hve very little )..
i suggested the books got to know the solution to the sum.......

thanx to all...
