Answer: the mass of the second ball is 2.631 kg

Explanation:

Given that;

m1 = 0.877 kg

Initial velocity = V0

Initial momentum = m1 × V0

final velocity of m1 is u1, final velocity of m2 is u2 = v0/2

now final momentum = m1 × u1 + m2 × u2

using momentum conservation;

m1×V0 = m1×u1 + m2×v0/2

m1×(v0 - u1) = m2×V0/2 ----- let this be equation 1

Now, for elastic collision;

m1×v0²/2 = m1×u1²/2 + m2×(v0/2)²/2

m1×(v0² - u1²) = m2×(v0/2)² --------- let this be equation 2

now; equation 2 / equation 1

: V0 + u1 = v0/2

2V0 + 2u1 = V0

2u1 = V0 - 2V0

u1 = -V0/2

now we insert in equ 1

 m1×3V0/2= m2×V0/2

m1 × 3 = m2

m2 = 0.877 × 3

m2 = 2.631 kg

Therefore, the mass of the second ball is 2.631 kg

A ball is thrown eastward into the air from the origin (in the direction of the positive x-axis). The initial velocity is 60 i +
timofeeve [1]

The ball's position in the air at time <em>t</em> is given by the vector,

<em>p</em>(<em>t</em>) = (60 <em>i</em> + 64 <em>k</em>) <em>t</em> + 1/2 (-6 <em>j</em> - 32 <em>k</em>) <em>t </em>²

and its velocity is given by

<em>v</em>(<em>t</em>) = (60 <em>i</em> + 64 <em>k</em>) + (-6 <em>j</em> - 32 <em>k</em>) <em>t</em>

The ball is in the air for as long as it takes for the vertical (<em>k</em>) component of the position vector to reach 0, so we solve,

64 <em>t</em> - 32/2 <em>t </em>² = 0  ==>  <em>t</em> = 0 OR <em>t</em> = 4

and so the ball is in the air for 4 s.

After this time, the ball has position vector

<em>p</em>(4) = (60 <em>i</em> + 64 <em>k</em>) <em>t</em> + 1/2 (-6 <em>j</em> - 32 <em>k</em>) <em>t </em>² = 240 <em>i</em> - 48 <em>j</em>

which has magnitude

||<em>p</em>(4)|| = √(240² + (-48)²) = 48 √26 ≈ 244.8 ft

in a direction <em>θ</em> in the <em>x</em>,<em>y</em> plane from the positive <em>x</em> axis such that

tan<em>θ</em> = -48/240 = -1/5  ==>  <em>θ</em> = -arctan(1/5) ≈ -11.3º

or 11.3º South of East.

The ball hits the ground with speed

||<em>v</em>(4)|| = ||60 <em>i</em> - 24 <em>j</em> - 64 <em>k</em>|| = √(60² + (-24)² + (-64)²) = 4 √517 ≈ 91.0 ft/s
