It depends on speed because it is a part of a car
Answer:
A. 1.4 m/s to the left
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must use the principle of conservation of momentum. Let's define the velocity signs according to the direction, if the velocity is to the right, a positive sign will be introduced into the equation, if the velocity is to the left, a negative sign will be introduced into the equation. Two moments will be analyzed in this equation. The moment before the collision and the moment after the collision. The moment before the collision is taken to the left of the equation and the moment after the collision to the right, so we have:

where:
M = momentum [kg*m/s]
M = m*v
where:
m = mass [kg]
v = velocity [m/s]

where:
m1 = mass of the basketball = 0.5 [kg]
v1 = velocity of the basketball before the collision = 5 [m/s]
m2 = mass of the tennis ball = 0.05 [kg]
v2 = velocity of the tennis ball before the collision = - 30 [m/s]
v3 = velocity of the basketball after the collision [m/s]
v4 = velocity of the tennis ball after the collision = 34 [m/s]
Now replacing and solving:
(0.5*5) - (0.05*30) = (0.5*v3) + (0.05*34)
1 - (0.05*34) = 0.5*v3
- 0.7 = 0.5*v
v = - 1.4 [m/s]
The negative sign means that the movement is towards left
It would be D) the rope is pulled to the right. This is because their is a greater force in that direction.
You can find
1) time to hit the ground
2) initial velocity
3) speed when it hits the ground
Equations
Vx = Vxo
x = Vx * t
Vy = Vyo + gt
Vyo = 0
Vy = gt
y = yo - Vyo - gt^2 / 2
=> yo - y = gt^2 / 2
1) time to hit the ground
=> 8.0 = g t^2 / 2 => t^2 = 8.0m * 2 / 9.81 m/s^2 = 1.631 s^2
=> t = √1.631 s^2 = 1.28 s
2) initial velocity
Vxo = x / t = 6.5m / 1.28s = 5.08 m/s
3) speed when it hits the ground
Vy = g*t = 9.81 m/s * 1.28s = 12.56 m/s
V^2 = Vy^2 + Vx^2 = (12.56 m/s)^2 + (5.08 m/s)^2 = 183.56 m^2 / s^2
=> V = √ (183.56 m^2 / s^2) = 13.55 m/s
Explanation:
Momentum before collision:
(2 kg) (4 m/s) + (5 kg) (-3 m/s) = -3 kg m/s
No external forces act on the balls, so momentum is conserved. Therefore, momentum after collision is also -3 kg m/s.
