Hi, can you see what I did wrong in the picture attached. You are given five values of mass and five values of momentum. Form combinations of these quantities to give a list of decreasing speeds from the largest possible speed to the smallest possible speed. The solid lines represent division.
A ball (I) having a mass of 0.8 kg and moving at a speed of 5.4 m/s strikes a glancing blow on a stationary ball (II). After the collision, ball I is moving at right angles to its original direction of motion, as shown in the diagram below, with a speed of 4.7 m/s. Which of the arrows show the direction of motion of ball II after the collision? What is the magnitude of the momentum of ball II after the collision? After the collision it is found that the speed of ball II is 1.43e+01 m/s. What is the mass of ball II?
