→ OBLIQUE COLLISION IN CASE OF SMOOTH SURFACES

a) Common – Normal (C. N)

Force is excerted in CN direction only. Both bodies exert equal and
opposite forces (action and reaction) on each other.

Hence momentum and velocities change accordingly in CN –

direction.
∴ Momentum changes in CN direction only.
Apply e (coefficient of restitution) in the CN direction only.

b) Common – Tangent (C. T)

f = 0 in case of smooth surface
f = u (Normal reaction) in case of rough surface. Then changed
velocity will be
(e m) times.

Neither momentum nor velocity changes in C T – direction.

(Q) Two point particles A and B are placed in line on a frictionless horizontal
plane. If particle A (Mass 1 kg) is moved with velocity 10 m/s towards
stationary particle B (Mass 2 kg) and after collision. The two move at an
angle of 450 with the initial direction of motion, then find
a) Velocities of A and B just after collision? 1 k g 1 0 m / s 2 k g

Sol: - The very first step to solve such problems is to find the line of impact which
is along the direction of force applied by A on B, resulting the stationary
particle B to move.
Thus by watching the direction of motion of B, line of impact is along
the direction of motion of B, (I e) 450 with the initial direction of motion of A.
