Question

A ball of mass 10 kg makes a head-on elastic collision with a second ball (at rest) and rebounds with a speed equal to 0.3 its original speed. What is the mass (in kg) of the second ball? (Could you please provide a step by step formula?) (This is the Fifth Time I'm asking Bartleby for help with this question, please explain in the diagram in detail please, step by step. ) (For example. for some reason, one of the variables turns from 0.3 into 0.7 m/s, please explain how and why) (Please lable velocities, masses ex. properly as which ones are the initials, finals, which mass belongs to which one.)

Before Collision
Inall type of Collisions, linear momentum remains
Conserved. So, m,ui+ m2u2
= m, V, + WaVz
lov+m(0) = -10(0-3)V + mVa
m V2 = 13V

For elastic collision, e=
e=1 =

> Vz = V-0•3V

V2 = 0. 7 \V

Foom 1) and (2),
m(0.7)V = 13 V → m= _]3
>So, mass f gtational ball = m = 18·57 Kg.
