A 0.25 kg ball with a velocity of 63 m/s strikes a 1.25kg ball at rest. After the collision, th
balls bounce off each other, and the 1.25 kg ball is moving with a velocity of 9m/s. Whc
is the velocity (in m/s) of the 0.25 kg ball?
Round your answer to the nearest whole number but leave units out of your answer.

Answer:

Answer is in the attached photo.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution

The solution is in the attached photo, do take note the formula for linear collision:

m₁v₁i + m₂v₂i = m₁v₁f + m₂v₂f

where 'i' is the initial state and 'f' is the final state.
