HW: 14.35, 14.44 b, 14.51
Simulation: (this time with more than 2 particles)

Start in 1-D.
1. Set up the system below, and calculate the velocity of all of the particles after the collision:
5. Turn on the center of mass marker. Calculate the velocities of all of the particles after the 1st collision, and the velocity of the center of mass before and after the collision. Explain how the velocity of the center of mass changes due to the collision.
6. Repeat #4 with the elasticity set to 50% instead of 100%. How does the velocity of the center of mass change before and after the collision? Why?
7. m1 = m2 = m3, e = 1.0. Start particles 2 and 3 off with a small positive velocity. Calculate the velocities of all of the particles after the 1st collision.
8. m1 = m2 = 0.5m3, e = 1, V1 = 1, v2 = v3 = 0.25. Discuss the differences between #7 and #8. Why do the particles stick together in #7 and not in #8?

2D
Solve problems 14.41 and 14.42 using the simulation. Could you figure out the directions of the outgoing velocities if all you had were the initial positions and velocities?
9.
Calculate the starting positions and velocity of the particles - the dashed black line in the 14.41 image connects the centers of the particles. Use v = 1.5 (instead of 15), place particle B(2) at (1.5,0) and measure everything off of B. r = 0.15.
Calculate the starting position and velocities of the particles - the dashed black line in the 14.42 image connects the centers of the particles. Use Bo(1.5,0), and v = 1.5 (instead of 15)
Note: due to rounding errors, it will not be perfect, but it will be close!
11. If B starts out at (1.5,0) and C at (1.712132, 0.212132), is there an initial position and velocity of A that will put both B and C into the corners? Calculate it!
12. Solve HW problem 14.44 with the help of the simulation.
Note: for a mass of 1 kg, r = 0.15
a)
b) Move 2&3 slightly off center so that #2 is hit before #1.
