Question

Two balls collide in a perfectly elastic collision. Ball 1 has a mass of 4.0 kg and is initially travelling at a velocity of 5.5 m/s [right]. It collides head-on with stationary ball 2 with a mass of 6.0 kg. Determine the final velocities of both balls by using the formulas on the bottom of the page. 

m₂v₁¡ + m₂V₂¡ = m₂v₁ + m₂ V₂

1 m² +/_m_v² = -mv², +_ m_v²,
2
V₁ + V₁ = V₂ +V/₂i
Transcribed Image Text:m₂v₁¡ + m₂V₂¡ = m₂v₁ + m₂ V₂ 1 1 m² +/_m_v² = -mv², +_ m_v², 2 V₁ + V₁ = V₂ +V/₂i
