A body of mass 3.6 kg makes an elastic collision with another body at rest and continues to move in the original direction but with 1/6 of its original speed. (a) What is the mass of the other body

The mass of the other body is 2.57 kg.

Explanation:

The expression of the velocity of an object in an elastic collision is as follows;

Here, , are the masses of the objects, , are the initial speed of the objects and is the final speed.

According to the given problem, a body of mass 3.6 kg makes an elastic collision with another body at rest and continues to move in the original direction but with 1/6 of its original speed.

Calculate the mass, .

Put , and .

Therefore, the mass of the other body is 2.57 kg.

higher potential

explanation:

because it is in a high speed so it must move into a of high potential
