A 2 kg ball of putty moving to the right at 3 m/s has a perfectly inelastic, head-on collision with a 1 kg ball of putty moving
1 answer:
Answer:
to the right
Explanation:
The balls collide in a completely inelastic collision, in other words they have the same velocity after the collision, this velocity has a magnitude V.
We need to use the conservation of momentum Law, the total momentum is the same before and after the collision.
In the axis X:

Answer:
The difference between frictionless ramp and a regular ramp is that on a frictionless ramp the ball cannot roll it can only slide, but on a regular ramp the ball can roll without slipping.
We will use conversation of energy.
Note that initial potential energy is zero because the ball is on the bottom, and the final kinetic energy is zero because the ball reaches its maximum vertical distance and stops.
For the ball B;
The initial velocities of the balls are equal. Their maximum climbing point will be proportional to their final potential energy. Since their initial kinetic energies are equal, their final potential energies must be equal as well.
Hence, both balls climb the same point.
