Physics

In this problem, consider Tom and Jerry in space and throwing aball back and forth. Initially, they are at rest with respect toeach other and are separated by a distance L0. For simplicityassume that they have the same mass, and that they both alwaysthrow the ball with the same speed V.

  1. a) If they are in ”open space” (no walls or ropes) whathappens?

    1. i) To answer this, continue drawing a sequence of sketches belowshowing the motion

      of: Tom and the ball after his toss #1, Jerry and the ball afterhis catch #1, Jerry and the ball after his toss #1, Tom and theball after his catch #1. In each sketch, it is important toindicate their relative positions and the direction of motion byarrows.

    2. ii) Then extrapolate, and state in one sentence what happens asthey continue to play, say for ten or twenty tosses. Assume thatthey do not get tired!

  2. b) Now Tom and Jerry are inside a spaceship. Let’s say they arein a box shaped room, and are each strapped to opposite walls. Asthey toss the ball back and forth, what happens to the box? Againdraw a series of diagrams and indicate the position of the box andthe motion of the box with arrows.
