Ball 1 rests on a smooth surface, when Ball 2, whose mass is one-third of the mass of Ball 1, traveling horizontally at 20 m/s, strikes Ball 1. As a result of the collision, Ball 2 is deflected 30 degrees above its original direction of motion, while Ball 1 acquires a velocity directed 45 degrees below the horizontal. CIRCLE YOUR FINAL ANSWERS.
Determine the speed of each ball after the collision.
Determine the amount of kinetic energy lost by the system of the two balls due to the collision.
