Question
Two people want to do a physics experiment at the bowling alley. They set up sensors to measure velocities and then roll two bowling balls with different masses so that they hit head on and collide elastically. The table summarizes the values known for the collision.
Given the information, what is the mass of ball 2?
Ball 1 | Ball 2 | |
---|---|---|
mass (kg) | 5.05.0 | ?? |
initial velocity (m/s) | 7.07.0 | −3.0−3.0 |
final velocity (m/s) | −7.74−7.74 | 2.262.26 |
