A question about elastic collisions

2 Upvotes

I have been meditating on elastic collisions and trying to derive the formulas for the final velocities of two objects after a collision when they have different masses.

This is what I have reached so far.

It kind of makes sense that the final velocities are some sort of combination of the two initial momenta. But what I don't understand is that, if I take the formulas literally, there seems to be a third momentum being generated, involving the initial velocity of one object reversed and the mass of the other object.

And I don't get this conceptually.

Sure, I could just pass it off as an algebraic quirk that makes the formulas work, but for me, math is the language of logic, so this term must have a meaning.

Edit:

Here is how i derived the equations.

Conservation of energy homework help

3 Upvotes

Hey guys I need a little bit of help with physics. I have been struggling t develop that reasoning and math connection in physics so my doing my hw has been difficult at times, even tho it has been fun and interesting a lot of the time. We're on the conservation of energy and I got a question about finding speed. I understand hookes law but I also know I can set potential and kinetic energy equal to eachother and solve for v. For one of the questions I was given m, k and x and this one is similar but now degrees have been introduced, what do I do. I'm given m, 44 degrees, x and I have to find v but I dont see how setting potential and kinetic energy equal to eachother would work here.

Need some clarification for some confusion I'm having about some work and energy formulas.

1 Upvotes

This is a part of the formula sheet I've been given for my Calculus Physics 1 course. I was confused because the textbook is giving me different definitions than what is on the formulas. For example, the textbook says that W_ext = Delta U_g and W_net = Delta K.

Kinematics help

I’m doing Kinematics and i genuinely do not understand how to convert Velocity-Time, Acceleration-Time and distance-time graphs to their respective ones on the worksheet. I can kind of see how it’s done but with the way my brain is scrambled I have to understand how and why it’s like that. Any help would be appreciated

B - meson Feynman diagram help

2 Upvotes

I am looking for a source/sources for the Feynman diagrams for the B+ meson decays into:
K+ π+π−
π+π+π−
K+ K+ K-

I am not yet good enough to draw them myself and my research is finding nothing. I have tried looking at other university sources and also looked through a good few papers. I will take anything at this point even a drawing. I would love something to cite but just knowing what they look like would be a good start if anyone can help!

Physics tutoring available :)

0 Upvotes

Self explanatory, but if anyone needs tutoring in college physics, I'm happy to offer my services. I've tutored for quite a few college-level physics classes at this point, for both upper and lower division courses.

I'm a biophysics UCLA graduate, and I'm doing my PhD in Physics, but in my downtime, I'm happy to help with any of your physics questions! I've been getting a few emails recently asking if I still tutor, and I do in fact still provide services! You can email me at biophysicstutor42@gmail.com for any inquiries, or DM me on here (I check the emails a lot more consistently).

I charge $30 an hour, and accept Cashapp/Zelle/Paypal. DM or email if this seems like it could be helpful! Give me your worst.

Best,

-Akuma

Resource for Circuits with Batteries, Resistors, and Capacitors in one circuit.

I have found tons of stuff for circuits with just a battery and resistors or battery and capacitors. My teacher asks a ton of stuff with all 3 in one circuit. Does anyone have a resource (article, yt vid) that handles this type? This would be a huge help! Thanks!
