Answer:
the final velocity of the ball is 4.87 m/s
the final velocity of the ping ball is 9.87 m/s
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the ball, m₁ = 4.65 kg
mass of the ping ball, m₂ = 0.06 kg
initial velocity of the ping ball, u₂ = 0
initial velocity of the ball, u₁ = 5 m/s
let the final velocity of the ball = v₁
let the final velocity of the ping ball, = v₂
Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum for elastic collision;
m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂
4.65(5) + 0.06(0) = 4.65v₁ + 0.06v₂
23.25 + 0 = 4.65v₁ + 0.06v₂
23.25 = 4.65v₁ + 0.06v₂ ------ (1)
Apply one-directional velocity equation;
u₁ + v₁ = u₂ + v₂
5 + v₁ = 0 + v₂
5 + v₁ = v₂
v₁ = v₂ - 5 -------- (2)
substitute equation (2) into (1)
23.25 = 4.65(v₂ - 5) + 0.06v₂
23.25 = 4.65v₂ - 23.25 + 0.06v₂
46.5 = 4.71 v₂
v₂ = 46.5/4.71
v₂ = 9.87 m/s
v₁ = v₂ - 5
v₁ = 9.87 - 5
v₁ = 4.87 m/s
