were solving for v velocity of the ball after it has hit the bottle. a. momentum ->p=mv->ball + bottle momentum during hit = ball + bottle momentum after hit-> ball (.5*21)+ bottle (.2*0) (it's 0 because the the bottle is standing still) = ball after hit (.5*v)+bottle after hit (.2*30) -> 10.5+0=.5v+6 ->4.5=.5v->v=9m/s
b. if bottle was heavier the ball would be slower so final velocity would decrease
