A 100g golf ball moving with a velocity of 20 m/s, collides with an 8 kg steel ball at rest,if the collision is elastic,compute the velocities of both balls after the collision.???

Duplicate post. Read my previous answer.

Plz show me answer

To compute the velocities of both balls after the collision, we can use the principles of conservation of momentum and kinetic energy.

1. First, let's calculate the momentum of the golf ball before the collision:
Momentum (p) = mass (m) * velocity (v)
Momentum of golf ball = 100g = 0.1 kg (since 1 kg = 1000g)
Momentum of golf ball before collision = 0.1 kg * 20 m/s = 2 kg m/s

2. Since the steel ball is at rest, its initial momentum is zero.

3. The total momentum before the collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision due to conservation of momentum. Therefore, we have:
Momentum before the collision = Momentum after the collision

4. Let's assume the final velocities of the golf ball and the steel ball are 'v1' and 'v2', respectively.

5. The momentum after the collision can be calculated as follows:
Momentum after the collision = (mass of golf ball * final velocity of golf ball) + (mass of steel ball * final velocity of steel ball)
Momentum after the collision = (0.1 kg * v1) + (8 kg * v2)

6. Rearranging the equation, we have:
2 kg m/s = (0.1 kg * v1) + (8 kg * v2)

7. To solve for the final velocities, we need one more equation. Since the collision is elastic, we know that kinetic energy is conserved. Thus, the total kinetic energy before the collision is equal to the total kinetic energy after the collision.

8. The kinetic energy (KE) of an object is given by:
KE = (1/2) * mass * (velocity)^2

9. The total kinetic energy before the collision can be calculated as:
KE before the collision = (1/2) * 0.1 kg * (20 m/s)^2 = 20 J

10. The total kinetic energy after the collision can be calculated as:
KE after the collision = (1/2) * 0.1 kg * (v1)^2 + (1/2) * 8 kg * (v2)^2

11. Since kinetic energy is conserved, we have:
KE before the collision = KE after the collision
20 J = (1/2) * 0.1 kg * (v1)^2 + (1/2) * 8 kg * (v2)^2

12. Now we have a system of two equations with two unknowns:
2 kg m/s = (0.1 kg * v1) + (8 kg * v2)
20 J = (1/2) * 0.1 kg * (v1)^2 + (1/2) * 8 kg * (v2)^2

To solve this system of equations, we can use simultaneous equations techniques, substitution, or elimination. Would you like me to show you the step-by-step solution for this system of equations?

To solve this problem, we can use the principle of conservation of momentum, which states that the total momentum before a collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision.

Before the collision, the golf ball is moving with a velocity of 20 m/s, and the steel ball is at rest.

Let's denote the velocity of the golf ball after the collision as v1, and the velocity of the steel ball after the collision as v2.

Using the conservation of momentum, we can write the equation:

(m1 * v1) + (m2 * v2) = (m1 * u1) + (m2 * u2)

Where:
m1 and m2 are the masses of the golf ball and steel ball respectively,
v1 and v2 are the velocities of the golf ball and steel ball after the collision,
u1 and u2 are the velocities of the golf ball and steel ball before the collision.

Given:
Mass of the golf ball (m1) = 100g = 0.1 kg
Mass of the steel ball (m2) = 8 kg
Velocity of the golf ball before the collision (u1) = 20 m/s
Velocity of the steel ball before the collision (u2) = 0 m/s (since it is at rest)

Plugging in the values, the equation becomes:

(0.1 kg * v1) + (8 kg * v2) = (0.1 kg * 20 m/s) + (8 kg * 0 m/s)

Simplifying the equation, we get:

0.1v1 + 8v2 = 2

Now, we need one more equation to solve for both v1 and v2. Since the collision is elastic, we can use the equation for the conservation of kinetic energy:

(1/2 * m1 * v1^2) + (1/2 * m2 * v2^2) = (1/2 * m1 * u1^2) + (1/2 * m2 * u2^2)

Plugging in the given values, this equation becomes:

(1/2 * 0.1 kg * v1^2) + (1/2 * 8 kg * v2^2) = (1/2 * 0.1 kg * (20 m/s)^2) + (1/2 * 8 kg * (0 m/s)^2)

Simplifying the equation, we get:

0.05v1^2 + 4v2^2 = 2

Now we have a system of two equations:

0.1v1 + 8v2 = 2 --(1)
0.05v1^2 + 4v2^2 = 2 --(2)

We can solve these equations simultaneously to find the values of v1 and v2. You can use various methods to solve these equations, such as substitution or elimination.
