Question
Jill threw a dodgeball completely horizontal in x-direction with velocity of +5 m/s and mass of .5 kg. At the same time her friend threw a dodgeball with the same mass in the -x direction and a velocity of -2 m/s. The balls hit each other, and Jill's ball was deflected 30° above the original path, while her friend's deflected 20⁰. below the initial path. a. Ignoring gravity, solve the velocity of each ball after the collision, using a free body diagram. b. If both balls had a magnitude of 3 m/s, how much kinetic energy was "lost" during the collision?
