Answer #1

Mass of Ball A,mA =23g

Initial velocity of ball A =, vA = 4m/s towards east

Mass of Ball B,mB =40g

Initial velocity of ball B =, vB = 2.3m/s towards north

------------------

Momentum is conserved

---------------------------------

Consider Conservation of Momentum in x direction (towards East)

Momentum Before Collision in x direction =Momentum After Collision in x direction

---------------(1)

----------------------------------

Consider Conservation of Momentum in y direction (towards North)

Momentum Before Collision in y direction =Momentum After Collision in y direction

---------------(2)

------------------------------

Divide Equation (2) by (1)

(a)ANSWER:

=================

(b)From Equation (1)
