A ball of mass 0.50 kg moving at a speed of 5.0 m/s collides with another ball of mass 1.0 kg. After the collision the balls stick together and remain motionless. What was the velocity of the 1.0 kg block before the collision? |

Answer» Thanks for asking the question! ANSWER:: Mass of BALL , m₁ = 0.5 kg VELOCITY of ball , v₁ = 5 m/s Mass of ANOTHER ball , m₂ = 1 kg Let velocity of another ball = v₂ m/s Using law of CONSERVATION of MOMENTUM , 0.5 x 5 + 1 x v₂ = 0 v₂ = - 2.5 m/s Therefore , the velocity of another ball is 2.5 m/s opposite to the direction of motion of first ball. Hope it helps! |
