Consider a head-on collision between two identical billiard balls. Ball 1 is initially in motion toward ball 2, which is initially at rest. After the collision, ball2 departs with the same velocity that ball 1 originally had. Disregard any friction between the balls and the surface. What happens to ball 1?What is its momentum and kinetic energy?

Question: Observe the behavior of Newton's Cradle. Momentum conservation is satisfied when one ball is pulled back and released, resulting in a collision such that one ball on the other end moves away at the same speed. Suppose each ball has mass, m, and the velocity of each released ball just before the collision is v. By determining the total momentum and kinetic energy before and after the collision, show that momentum and kinetic energy are conserved in this case (consider the instances in time just before and just after the collision, and neglect and collisions occurring between the stationary balls.) Momentum would also be conserved if 2 balls moved away at half the initial pre-collision speed. Show that this would be true by determining the total momentum before and after the collision. Would the kinetic energy be conserved in this second scenario? Determine the initial and final kinetic energy to find out.

Answering this question requires only thought, no calculations.Use your answer to part C and the Galilean transformation of velocity to find the post-collision velocity of the 81 ball of clay in reference frame .

A 22 g ball of clay is shot to the right (in the positive x-direction) at 21 m/s toward a 44 g ball of clay at rest. The two balls of clay collide and stick together. Call this reference frame S. What is the total momentum in frame S? What is the velocity V of a reference frame S' in which the total momentum is zero? After the collision, what is the velocity in frame S' of the resulting 66 g ball of clay? Answering this question requires only thought, no calculations. Use your answer to part C and the Galilean transformation of velocity to find the post-collision velocity of the 66 g ball of clay in reference frame S.
