Question

Help me with this problem.. impulse and momentum

Answer 1

the forward velocity seems to be equal to some adjusted version of V cos(\(\alpha\))

Answer 2

I want to apply the conservation of momentum in the line of action of "v" in your illustration. Any thoughts?

Answer 3

You must apply conservation of horizontal momentum.

Answer 4

Can you help me with the general equation? I am having a hard time writing it correctly..


By the way, can I do it with respect to the n-axis(in the drawing)? I'll just add the impulse in state 1? I got an answer if I tried the horizontal momentum.. I just like to try a different approach
