collision between to plastic balls
Not what you're looking for?
A 0.208 kg plastic ball moves with a velocity of 0.30 m/s. It collides with a second plastic ball of mass 0.099 kg, which is moving along the same line at a speed of 0.10 m/s.
After the collision, both balls continue moving in the same, original direction, and the speed of the 0.099 kg ball is 0.26 m/s.
What is the new velocity of the first ball? (in m/s in the original direction)
