The kinetic energy decreases
Answer:
<h2>The pin's final velocity is 5m/s</h2>
Explanation:
Step one:
given data
mass of ball m1=5kg
initial velocity of ball u1=10m/s
mass of pin m2=2kg
initial velocity of pin u2= 0m/s
final velocity of ball v2=8m/s
final velocity of pin v2=?
Step two:
The expression for elastic collision is given as
m1u1+m2u2=m1v1+m2v2
substituting we have
5*10+2*0=5*8+2*v2
50+0=40+2v2
50-40=2v2
10=2v2
divide both sides by 2
v2=10/2
v2=5m/s
The pin's final velocity is 5m/s
