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)
