Answer:
The velocity of each ball after the collision are 2.19 m/s and 2.58 m/s.
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of object = 5 kg
Speed = 3 m/s
Mass of stationary object = 3 kg
Moving object deflected = 30°
Stationary object deflected = 31°
We need to calculate the velocity of each ball after collision
Using conservation of momentum
Along x-axis

Put the value into the fomrula


....(I)
Along y -axis

Put the value into the formula

...(II)
From equation (I) and (II)


Put the value of v₁ in equation (I)



Hence, The velocity of each ball after the collision are 2.19 m/s and 2.58 m/s.
The tow lines for the two skiers must be of the same length. No matter the number of skiers towed, the length of the tow lines must be the same. Towing people on ski requires additional skills and some safety precautions must be taken. Most importantly, it is dangerous and illegal to tow at night.
