<span>Our equation 1 would be
m*v=M*V1+m*V2
v=V1+V2
v-V1=V2
the equation 2 would look like this
</span>V^2=V1^2+V2^2
V^2-V1^2=V2^2
(V-V1)*(V+V1)=V2^2Dividing with the 1
V+V1=V2
Answer:
Speed of lighter ball is 4 m/s.
Explanation:
Applying the principle of conservation of linear momentum,
momentum before collision = momentum after collision.
+ = -
= 3 kg, = 8 m/s, = 2 kg, = 0 m/s ( since it is at rest), = 2 m/s, = ?
(3 x 8) + (2 x 0) = (8 x 2) - (2 x )
24 + 0 = 16 - 2
2 = 16 - 24
2 = -8
=
= -4 m/s
This implies that the light ball moves at the speed of 4 m/s in the opposite direction of the heavier ball after collision.
Answer:
a reference point allows you to determine the motion of an object :)
example: when your in a car and u look out the window and your moving fast than the car next to you. It seems that way because the car next to you is actually moving much slower.
