Answer:
Explanation:
a )
momentum of baseball before collision
mass x velocity
= .145 x 30.5
= 4.4225 kg m /s
momentum of brick after collision
= 5.75 x 1.1
= 6.325 kg m/s
Applying conservation of momentum
4.4225 + 0 = .145 x v + 6.325 , v is velocity of baseball after collision.
v = - 13.12 m / s
b )
kinetic energy of baseball before collision = 1/2 mv²
= .5 x .145 x 30.5²
= 67.44 J
Total kinetic energy before collision = 67.44 J
c )
kinetic energy of baseball after collision = 1/2 x .145 x 13.12²
= 12.48 J .
kinetic energy of brick after collision
= .5 x 5.75 x 1.1²
= 3.48 J
Total kinetic energy after collision
= 15.96 J
