Question
A 20 g ball is fired horizontally with speed v0 toward a 100 g ball hanging motionless from a 1.0-m-long string. The balls un-dergo a head-on, perfectly elastic collision, after which the 100 g ball swings out to a maximum angle umax=50. What was v0?

Answer:7.93 m/s
Explanation:
Given
mass of ball
Mass of hanging ball
Length of string
Maximum angle turned
For Perfectly elastic final velocity of ball 1 and 2 is given by
where
and
are the velocity of 1 and 2 before collision
thus
By energy conservation on second ball we get
Kinetic energy=Potential Energy
thus
