NONElastic Collision
One sphere collides with other sphere that has speed of u2 = 0... Both spheres have same mass (m1 = m2 = 0.3 kg)... After collision first sphere has speed of v1 = 0.6 m/s, second sphere v2 = 1.1 m/s ... How much of kinetic energy has been transformed into heat
Ek= (m1 * u1 ^2) / 2
m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2
from second formula i got u1 = 1.7 m/s
and after doing Ek = Ek1 + Ek2 + heat,
heat = Ek - Ek1 + Ek2
heat = 0.2 J
Can anybody confirm this...7
