Problem 22P

A ball of mass 0.440 kg moving east (+ x direction) with a speed of 3.30 m/s collides head-on with a 0.220-kg ball at rest. If the collision is perfectly elastic, what will be the speed and direction of each ball after the collision?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 3

Mass of the ball;  

Speed of the ball;  

Mass of the second ball;  

Initial velocity of the second ball;  

The velocity of each ball after collision is calculated by applying the principle of conservation of linear momentum.

     ........(1)

Apply one dimensional linear velocity;

    .......(2)
