A ball, m1 = 0.1 kg, having initial velocity v1i = 0.5 m/s hits a stationary ball in a glancing collision. After the collision the balls have final speeds v1f = 0.4 m/s and v2f = 0.2 m/s and ball 1 bounces back at an angle of 110 degrees relative to its incident trajectory. a) Sketch diagrams of the balls before and after the collision. Include a co-ordinate system and label all relevant angles and velocities. b) Write down algebraic expressions for the total initial momentum and total final momentum along the x and y axes (using the co-ordinate system defined in a) in terms of the mass and velocity (magnitude and angle) of each ball c)Determine the mass of ball 2, m2, and the angle between the final trajectories, theta, of the two balls after the collision

Please answer it within 30 minutes.I will Upvote! Problem: A 120 kg linebacker collides with (tackles) a 80 kg wide receiver in the Super Bowl. The tackle is a head collision meaning that the velocities of the two players were in opposite directions just prior to the collision. The magnitude of the linebacker's velocity just prior to the collision was 6 m/s and the magnitude of the wide receiver's velocity at the same time was 7.5 m/s. If the linebacker and wide receiver get tangled up and do not separate from one another after the nasty tackle is made, what is the velocity of the wide receiver immediately after the tackle in m/s? (hint: don't forgot to indicate direction compared to their original direction)
Ball A, with a mass of 2.00 kilograms and an initial velocity of +4.00 meters per second, collides head-on with ball B, which has a mass of 3.00 kilograms and is initially at rest. If the collision is elastic, what are the velocities of the balls after the collision? Include units in your answers. Hint: Do not use a magical book equation! Consider what two quantities are conserved in this elastic collision. 4.0 4.0 S (ball A) (ball B)
