Two billiard balls collide elastically ball A has a mass of 1.22 kg and an initial velocity of 0.8 M/S Ball B has a mass of 1.37 KG and an initial velocity of 0 M/S assuming that all of ball A’s is momentum is transferred to ball B after the collision what is the final velocity of Ball B ? *a perfect momentum transfer means that what was moving before the collision will not move after the collision and vice versa.A) 0.377 m/sB) 0.976 m/sC) 0.712 m/sD) 0 m/s

We will have the following:

[tex]\begin{gathered} (1.22kg)(0.8m/s)+(1.37kg)(0m/s)=(1.22kg)(0m/s)+(1.37kg)v_f \\ \\ \Rightarrow0.976kg\ast m/s=1.37kg\ast v_f\Rightarrow v_f=\frac{0.976kg\ast m/s}{1.37kg} \\ \\ \Rightarrow v_f=\frac{488}{685}m/s\Rightarrow v_f\approx0.712m/s \end{gathered}[/tex]

So, the final velocity will be approximately 0.712 m/s.
