Chapter 14.1, Problem 14.26P
In a scattering experiment, an alpha particle A is projected with the velocity u0 = −(600 m/s)i + (750 m/s)j − (800 m/s)k into a stream of oxygen nuclei moving with a common velocity v0 = (600 m/s)j. After colliding successively with the nuclei B and C, particle A is observed to move along the path defined by the points A1 (280, 240, 120) and A2 (360, 320, 160), while nuclei B and C are observed to move along paths defined, respectively, by B1 (147, 220, 130) and B2 (114, 290, 120), and by C1 (240, 232, 90) and C2 (240, 280, 75). All paths are along straight lines and all coordinates are expressed in millimeters. Knowing that the mass of an oxygen nucleus is four times that of an alpha particle, determine the speed of each of the three particles after the collisions.

At time t = 0, the ball is dropped from a height_y(0) = họ, where ho is the initial height in meters. It falls freely. At some later time t₁ it hits the ground with a velocity y(t₁) < 0 m/s (meters per second). A bump event is produced when the ball hits the ground. The collision is inelastic (meaning that kinetic energy is lost), and the ball bounces back up with velocity −ay(t₁), where a is constant with 0 < a < 1. The ball will then rise to a certain height and fall back to the ground repeatedly. The behavior of the bouncing ball can be described by the hybrid system of Figure 1. There is only one mode, called free. When it is not in contact with the ground, we know that the ball follows the second-order differential equation, ÿ(t) = −g, where g 9.81 m/sec². = Bouncing Ball bump y(t) = 0/ bump y(t):= -ay(t) 5 free y(t) y(t)=-8 y(0) := hó y(0) := 0 Figure 1.
