A 2 kg ball collides elastically with a 3 kg ball at rest. The initial velocity of the 2 kg ball is 5 m/s. Find the final velocities of both balls.
Using the equation: ΔU = mgh ΔU = 5(10)(10) = 500 J A 2 kg ball collides elastically with a 3 kg ball at rest
Using the conservation of momentum: m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₁v'₁ + m₂v'₂ 2(5) + 0 = 2v'₁ + 3v'₂ A 2 kg ball collides elastically with a 3 kg ball at rest
