A ball has a mass of 4.65kg and approximates a ping pong ball of mass 0.060kg that is at rest by striking it in an elastic collision. The initial velocity of the bowling ball is 5.00m/s, determine the final velocities of both masses after the collision.

Answer:

Look at work

Explanation:

Elastic Collision: Ki=Kf

M1=4.65kg

M2: 0.060kg

v1=5m/s

v2=0m/s

4.65*5+0.060*0=4.65*v1'+0.060*v2'

23.25+0=4.65v1'+0.060v2'

Also since it is an elastic collision we can use

v1+v1'=v2+v2'

4.65+v1'=v2'

4.65+v1'=v2'

Substitute into the earlier equation

23.25=4.65v1'+0.060(4.65+v1')

Expand

23.25=4.65v1'+0.279+0.06v1'

Solve for v1'

22.971=4.71v1'

v1'=4.88m/s

v2'=4.65+4.88=9.53m/s
