Answer:
<h2>C. <u>
0.55 m/s towards the right</u></h2>
Explanation:
Using the conservation of law of momentum which states that the sum of momentum of bodies before collision is equal to the sum of the bodies after collision.
Momentum = Mass (M) * Velocity(V)
BEFORE COLLISION
Momentum of 0.25kg body moving at 1.0m/s = 0.25*1 = 0.25kgm/s
Momentum of 0.15kg body moving at 0.0m/s(body at rest) = 0kgm/s
AFTER COLLISION
Momentum of 0.25kg body moving at x m/s = 0.25* x= 0.25x kgm/s
<u>x is the final velocity of the 0.25kg ball</u>
Momentum of 0.15kg body moving at 0.75m/s(body at rest) =
0.15 * 0.75kgm/s = 0.1125 kgm/s
Using the law of conservation of momentum;
0.25+0 = 0.25x + 0.1125
0.25x = 0.25-0.1125
0.25x = 0.1375
x = 0.1375/0.25
x = 0.55m/s
Since the 0.15 kg ball moves off to the right after collision, the 0.25 kg ball will move at <u>0.55 m/s towards the right</u>

I'm pretty sure this is A
Any change in the speed or direction of motion is called "acceleration". You'll hear "deceleration" used for slowing down but that's not technically correct.
Frequency refers to how often something happens. Period refers to the time it takes something to happen. Frequency is a rate quantity. Period is a time quantity. Frequency is the cycles/second
