A ball of mass m1 strikes a statinary ball of mass m2 and after collision moves perpendicular to its original direction. What is the fractional decrease in kinetic energy of the ball m1?
Dear student,
v1x + v2x = v1x' + v2x' (v1x +v2x is a known quantity, call it "A")
v1y + v2y = v1y' + v2y' (v1y + v2y is "B")
conservation of KE brings this formula:
(v1x)^2 + (v1y)^2 + (v2x)^2 + (v2y)^2 [call this "C"]
= (v1x')^2 + (v1y')^2 + (v2x')^2 + (v2y')^2

Three identical balls are placed on a frictionless
horizontal surface touching each other. They stick to
each other because of adhesive. Another ball of same
radius and mass m is placed over the void created by
the three balls. Find the forces applied by the balls
kept on the floor to each other if the system remains
in equilibrium.

A car loaded with water having total mass 1000 kg moves on a straight horizontal Road starting from rest under the action of a force of 100 Newton. The water spills throw a small hole in the bottom at a rate of 0.1 KG per second the velocity of cart after 300 seconds is nearly.
