Part (a) - Solution
Since the collision is ellastic and the ball 1 is initially at rest, their final velocities (their velocities inmidietlly after collision) can be expressed as
We can use principle of conservation of mechanical energy to find initial velocity v2i.
from geometry,
thus,
inserting eq. (3) into (1), we obtain
or
inserting eq. (3) into (2), we obtain
or
Part (b) - Solution
Use again Principle of conservation of mechanical energy to find the maximum height of each ball after the first collision,
For ball 1, we have
or
For ball 2, we have

On a frictionless tabletop, a sphere of mass 3.0 kg and speed 18 m/s approaches head on and collides elastically with a stationary sphere of mass 5.0 kg. Find out he velocity of the first sphere after the elastic head on collision. 4.5 m/s 0 - 4.0 m/s 0 - 4.5 m/s O 40 m/s
A 1.0-kg ball with a speed of 3.0 m/s strikes a 2.0-kg stationary ball. The collision is completely inelastic. (a) Calculate the speed of the balls after collision. (b) Calculate the total kinetic energy change during the collision
A 2.0-kg mass moving at 5.0 m/s suddenly collides head-on with a 3.0-kg mass at rest. If the collision is perfectly inelastic, what is the speed of the masses just after the collision? 2.5 m/s 10 m/s 2.0 m/s 0 m/s, since the collision is inelastic
A ball with a mass of .1 kg collides head-on with a 5 kg ball that was at rest (elastic collision). If the velocity of the .1 kg ball is equal to -.48 m/s and the velocity of the 5 kg ball is equal to .02 m/s after the collision, what are the velocities of the balls before the collision? Any help would be appreciated!
10. A 2.0 kg ball moving with a speed of 3.0 m/s hits, elastically, an identical stationary ball as shown. If the first ball moves away with angle 30 Degree to the original path, determine a. the speed of the first ball after the collision. b. the speed and direction of the second ball after the collision.
A ball of mass 0.320 kg that is moving with a speed of 5.7 m/s collides head-on and elastically with another ball initially at rest. Immediately after the collision, the incoming ball bounces backward with a speed of 3.4 m/s . Calculate the velocity of the target ball after the collision. Calculate the mass of the target ball.
