Answer: The velocity of the first ball is 0.875 m/s if the second ball travels at 1.5 m/s after collision.
Explanation:
Given: = 0.2 kg, = 0.15 kg
= 2 m/s, = 0 m/s, = ?, = 1.5 m/s
Formula used is as follows.
where,
v = velocity before collision
v' = velocity after collision
Substitute the values into above formula as follows.
Thus, we can conclude that the velocity of the first ball is 0.875 m/s if the second ball travels at 1.5 m/s after collision.
