A (0.045-mathrm{kg}) golf ball moving at (50 mathrm{~m} / mathrm{s}) (measured in the Earth reference frame) collides

Question:

A \(0.045-\mathrm{kg}\) golf ball moving at \(50 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) (measured in the Earth reference frame) collides inelastically with a 1. 8 \(\mathrm{kg}\), heavy-duty plastic flowerpot sitting on a windowsill. The coefficient of restitution for the collision is 0. 50 . Calculate the final velocities of the ball and the pot. Do this problem by first transforming to the zeromomentum reference frame, where the collision is much simpler, and then transforming back to the Earth reference frame. (Assume that all the action happens in one dimension and that the friction between pot and sill is insignificant.)
