As shown in the figure, a metal ball with mass m2is initially at rest on a horizontal, frictionless table. A second metal ball with mass m1 moving with a speed 2.00 m/s, collides with m2. Assume m1  moves initially along the + x-axis. After the collision, m1  moves with speed of 1.00 m/s at an angle of ? = 51.0° to the positive x-axis.  (Assume m1 = 0.200 kg and m2 = 0.300 kg.) Determine the speed (in m/s) of the 0.300 kg ball after the collision. Find the fraction of kinetic energy transferred away or transformed to other forms of energy in the collision.

Question

As shown in the figure, a metal ball with mass m2is initially at rest on a horizontal, frictionless table. A second metal ball with mass m1 moving with a speed 2.00 m/s, collides with m2. Assume m1  moves initially along the + x-axis. After the collision, m1  moves with speed of 1.00 m/s at an angle of ? = 51.0° to the positive x-axis.  (Assume m1 = 0.200 kg and m2 = 0.300 kg.)

Determine the speed (in m/s) of the 0.300 kg ball after the collision.
