i. Draw the balls and the approximate momentum vectors before and after the collision.

ii. What is the final velocity of the second ball, v'2?

iii. Is the collision elastic? What is the energy loss in the collision?

 

Two balls of equal mass move in the Ty plane. The first ball initially moves in the x direction
with a velocity of vi
velocity of v2 = 2.0j m/s. After the collision, the first ball has velocity v =0.5i + 1.5j m/s.
