Problem 26P
A softball of mass 0.220 kg that is moving with a speed of 8.5 m/s collides head-on and elastically with another ball initially at rest. Afterward the incoming soft-ball bounces backward with a speed of 3.7 m/s. Calculate (a) the velocity of the target ball after the collision, and (b) the mass of the target ball.
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
Mass of the softball;
Initial speed of the softball;
Final speed of the softball;
Consider the expression for the final speed of the softball
Here is used for the mass of the target ball.
Write above equation in terms of the mass .
