a ball mass m is traveling to the right with a velocity v when it collides with a ball mass m traveling to the left at 2v. the first ball bounces back with a velocity -v. what is the velocity of the second ball?



Answer :

the velocity of the second ball u = 2v

m(v) - m(2v) = m(-v) + m(u)

m(v) + m(v) = m(u)

u = 2v  (to left)

A moving object's velocity is defined as its directional speed as an indication of how quickly its position is changing as seen from a certain point of view and as measured by a specific unit of time, such as 60 km/h in a northerly direction. Kinematics, the area of classical mechanics that studies how bodies move, uses the concept of velocity as a fundamental building block.

It takes both magnitude and direction to define velocity, a physical vector quantity. Speed is a coherent derived unit that expresses the scalar absolute value (magnitude) of velocity. Its quantity is expressed in SI (metric system) units of metres per second (m/s or ms1). The terms "5 metres per second" and "5 metres per second east," for instance, denote scalar and vector, respectively.
