Mike shoots a large marble (marble a, mass: 0.05 kg) at a smaller marble (marble b, mass: 0.03 kg) that is sitting still. marble a was initially moving at a velocity of 0.6 m/s, but after the collision it has a velocity of –0.2 m/s. what is the resulting velocity of marble b after the collision? be sure to show your work for solving this problem along with the final answer.

First step is to get rid of the square root. remember that a square root is the same as raising to the (1/2) power. see below: multiply exponents per exponent rules to get: remember you subtract exponents from the denominator and add exponents in the numerator so: simplify further: so a is the correct choice. if you don't understand this google exponent rules and it will you understand. look at the image results.
