The so-called "velocity-time" graph is actually a "speed-time" graph.  At any point
on it, the 'x'-coordinate is a time, and the 'y'-coordinate is the speed at that time.

'Velocity' is a speed AND a direction.  Without a direction, you do not have a velocity,
and these graphs never show the direction of the motion.  It seems to me that it would be
pretty tough to draw a graph that shows the direction of motion at every instant of time,
so my take is that you'll never see a true "velocity-time" graph. 

At best, it would need a second line on it, whose 'y'-coordinate referred to a second
axis, calibrated in angle and representing the 'bearing' or 'heading' of the motion at
each instant. The graph of uniform circular motion, for example, would have a straight
horizontal line for speed, and a 'sawtooth' wave for direction.

A 0.060-kg tennis ball, moving with a speed of 5.50m/s , has a head-on collision with a 0.090-kg ball initially moving in the sa
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

For elastic collision , the formula for velocity of .06 kg  is

v₁ = (m₁-m₂)/(m₁+m₂) u₁ + 2m₁m₂/(m₁+m₂) u₂

=( .06-.09 / .06+.09 ) 5.5 + (2 x .06 x .09 / .06+.09 ) 3.4

=( -.03 / .15) x 5.5 + (2 x .0054 / .15) x 3.4

= -1.1 +.2448

= - 0 .8552 m/s

Its direction will be - opposite direction

the formula for velocity of .09kg  is

v₂ = (m₂-m₁)/(m₁+m₂) u₂ + 2m₁m₂/(m₁+m₂) u₁

= ( .09-.06 / .06+.09 ) 3.4 + (2 x .06 x .09 / .06+.09 ) 5.5

= .68 +.396

= 1.076 m / s

Its direction will be in the same direction .
