Question: ( 5 ) A hard ball A with velocity V A = 6 m s has a direct collision with ball B , which is
A hard ball A with velocity has a direct collision with ball which is at rest. The collision has a coefficient of restitution Once the two balls collide, Ball B continues moving until it strikes a padded wall and rebounds. The wall collision has coeff. of restitution Determine the velocity of after it rebounds from the wall.
Both balls have mass
Hint: You need to break this problem up in to two collisions.
The first is when A strikes solve for
Next look at the collision where hits the wall note this is oblique
solve for and
You will need to solve a system of two eqns. two unknowns for each collision.
