Question

A ball with a mass of 65 kg collides with a ball that has a mass of 112kg. It is an ellastic collision: Ball one is travelling at 8.0m/s, ball two is travelling the opposite direction at 3.00m/s.

b. Write the equation to express the conservation of momentum for the collision.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:mass, m1=65 kgmass,m2=112 kgVelocity,u1=8 m/sVelocity,u2=-3 m/sNow,conservation of momentum for the collision.m1u1+m2u2=m1v1+m2v2(65kg×8m/s-112kg×3 m/s)=(65kg×V1+112kg×V2)184=65V1+112 V2  ....(Eq1)
