The total momentum of two balls is 23.85 kg·m/s, pointing in the positive direction 43 degrees above the horizontal. If the two balls have velocities of 15 m/s and 14.56 m/s respectively, calculate their masses.
Added by Evelyn O.
Step 1
Given: \(P_1 = 23.85 \, \text{kg} \cdot \text{m/s}\), \(v_1 = 15 \, \text{m/s}\) \(23.85 = m_1 \times 15\) \(m_1 = \frac{23.85}{15}\) \(m_1 = 1.59 \, \text{kg}\) ** Show more…

Two balls of equal mass $(0.50 \mathrm{~kg})$ approach the origin along the positive $x$ - and $y$ -axes at the same speed $(3.3 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s})$. (a) What is the total momentum of the system? (b) Will the balls necessarily collide at the origin? What is the total momentum of the system after both balls have passed through the origin?
three lead balls of mass m1=15 kg, m2= 25 kg and m3=9.0 kg are arranged as shown in figure a. find the total gravitational force exerted by balls 1 and 2 on ball 3. be sure to give the magnitude and the direction of this force.

$\bullet$ A ball with a mass of 0.600 $\mathrm{kg}$ is initially at rest. It is struck by a second ball having a mass of 0.400 $\mathrm{kg}$ , initially moving with a velocity of 0.250 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ toward the right along the $x$ axis. After the collision, the 0.400 $\mathrm{kg}$ ball has a velocity of 0.200 $\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$ at an angle of $36.9^{\circ}$ above the $x$ axis in the first quadrant. Both balls move on a frictionless, horizontal surface. (a) What are the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the 0.600 kg ball after the collision? (b) What is the change in the total kinetic energy of the two balls as a result of the collision?
