As shown in the figure below, object m1 = 1.70 kg starts at an initial height h1i = 0.345 m and speed v1i = 4.00 m/s, swings downward and strikes (in an elastic collision) object m2 = 4.40 kg which is initially at rest. a)Determine the speed of m1 (in m/s) just before the collision. b) Determine the velocity (magnitude in m/s and direction) of each ball just after the collision (Assume the positive direction is toward the right. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) c) Determine the height (in m) to which each ball swings after the collision (ignoring air resistance).

Question

As shown in the figure below, object m1 = 1.70 kg starts at an initial height h1i = 0.345 m and speed v1i = 4.00 m/s, swings downward and strikes (in an elastic collision) object m2 = 4.40 kg which is initially at rest. a)Determine the speed of m1 (in m/s) just before the collision. b) Determine the velocity (magnitude in m/s and direction) of each ball just after the collision (Assume the positive direction is toward the right. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) c) Determine the height (in m) to which each ball swings after the collision (ignoring air resistance).
