Answe to 41 is 30 cm/s, 30 cm/s at 30° below the x axis.
Answer to 42 is 20x10^5 N b) 98 km/s
Explanation / Answer
Apply the law of conservation of momentum,
m( V - v ) - m(U + u) = 0
As both have same mass, the masses cancelled out.
V - v - U - u = 0
u = V - v - U.
As collision is elatic, the final velocities V = v,
Therefore, we can conclde that
u = - U
This implies t that whatever the one ball is doing, U, the other one is doing exactly the opposite, - U.
Therefore, the other ball will be going 210o at the same speed U = u.
However, 210o= 30o + 180o
Here 180 + 30 degrees is exactly the opposite direction to 30 deg.
Thus, the speed of the other ball is 30 cm/s at 30° below the x axis.
