Question: A 0 . 5 kg ball, initially moving with a velocity of 1 0 m s due south, collides with a 0 . 4 kg

A 0.5 kg ball, initially moving with a velocity of 10ms due south, collides with a 0.4 kg ball that is moving with a velocity of 5ms due east. The collision is perfectly elastic. After the collision, the first ball rebounds with a velocity of 4ms in the 20 south of east.
a) Draw and label the objects & vectors associated with the motion before collision. (6 pts)
b) Is the momentum of the system conserved? (3 pts)
c) Calculate the momentum of the system before and after the collision. (6 pts )
d) Calculate the impulse experience by the second ball (0.4 kg ball) in the collision (10 pts
