    The 2012 movie “The Avengers” has a scene where Iron Man and Thor fight. At the beginning of the fight, Thor throws his hammer at Iron Man, hitting him and throwing him slightly up into the air and against a small tree, which breaks. From the video, Iron Man is standing still when the hammer hits him. The distance between Thor and Iron Man is appro...

    After the collision, Thor’s hammer is in contact with Iron Man for the entire time, so this is a perfectly inelastic collision. Thus, with the correct choice of a closed system, we expect momentum is conserved, but not kinetic energy. We use the given numbers to estimate the initial momentum, the initial kinetic energy, and the final kinetic energy...

    First, we posit conservation of momentum. For that, we need a closed system. The choice here is the system (hammer + Iron Man), from the time of collision to the moment just before Iron Man and the...
    The initial kinetic energy of the system, like the initial momentum, is all in the hammer:Ki=12MHv2H=12(70kg)(10m/s)2=3500J.Ki=12MHvH2=12(70kg)(10m/s)2=3500J.After the collision,Kf=12(MH+MI)v2=12(7...

    From other scenes in the movie, Thor apparently can control the hammer’s velocity with his mind. It is possible, therefore, that he mentally causes the hammer to maintain its initial velocity of 10 m/s while Iron Man is being driven backward toward the tree. If so, this would represent an external force on our system, so it would not be closed. Tho...

  5. These collisions can be broadly categorized into two types: elastic and inelastic. This article will delve into the differences between these two types of collisions, the principles of conservation of momentum and energy in these collisions, and real-world examples. Elastic Collisions.

  6. Jul 8, 2019 · A collision is the act in which two or more entities exert forces on each other over a time period, often expressed in a short period. Collisions behave according to the fundamental principles of physics. The nature of collisions allow for assumptions, as discussed later, to solve for unknowns.
