Question

Ina shoots a large marble (Marble A, mass: 0.08 kg) at a smaller marble (Marble B, mass: 0.05 kg) that is sitting still. Marble A was initially moving at a velocity of 0.5 m/s, but after the collision, it has a velocity of −0.1 m/s. What is the resulting velocity of marble B after the collision? Be sure to show your work for solving this problem along with the final answer.

Answer 1

From the calculations, the final momentum of B is 8.16 m/s

What is conservation of linear momentum?

According to the principle of the conservation of linear momentum, the momentum before collision is equal to the total momentum after collision.

This implies that;

MaUa + MbUb = MaVa + MaVa

Substituting values;

(0.08 kg * 0.5 m/s) + (0.05 kg * 0 m/s) = (0.08 kg * −0.1 m/s) + (0.05 kg * v)

0.4 = -0.008 + 0.05v

v = 8.16 m/s
