Answer :
The speed of the 61g ball after collision is 0.4 m/s at an angle of 88.5° north of east.
Let us assume coordinates axes here, taking east as x axis and north as y axis.
So, the 26 g ball is moving with speed of 3.5m/s travelling in the x direction collides with 35g ball travelling with 2.6m/s in the y direction. After collision they collides with each other.
So, we know, the momentum is going to be conserved,
Hence,
Initial momentum = Final momentum
M₁V₁ + M₂V₂ = (M₁+M₂)V
M₁ is 26g,
M₂ is 35g,
V₁ is speed of 26g ball,
V₂ is speed of 35g ball.
V is the speed after collision.
Now, putting all the values,
(0.026)(3.5)i + (0.035)(2.6)j = (0.026 + 0.035)V
V = (0.091)i + (0.091)j
|V| = 0.4 m/s.
The angle between y axis and |V| is,
Tan A = 0.091/3.5
Tan A = 0.026
Hence the value of A is 1.5°.
Hence, the speed of the 61g ball is 0.4 m/s at an angle of 88.5° north of east.
