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.
