Each croquet ball in a set has a mass of 0.52 kg. The green ball, traveling at 11.3 m/s, strikes the blue ball, which is at rest. Assuming that the balls slide on a frictionless surface and all collisions are head-on, find the final speed of the blue ball in each of the following situations: a) The green ball stops moving after it strikes the blue ball. Answer in units of m/s.

Answer:

11.3 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved:

Total momentum before collision = total momentum after collision

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

(0.52 kg) (11.3 m/s) + (0.52 kg) (0 m/s) = (0.52 kg) (0 m/s) + (0.52 kg) v

v = 11.3 m/s
