You're rolling solid rubber balls on the kitchen floor. Ball 1 has a density of 1.16 × 103 kg/m3 and a radius of 28.0 mm. Ball 2 has an unknown density and a radius of 43.0 mm and is initially at rest. You roll ball 1 at an initial speed of 3.00 m/s, and the two balls collide head-on. Ball 1 reverses direction and comes back to you at 2.00 m/s, and after the collision, the speed of ball 2 is 1.00 m/s. The positive x axis is in the direction of ball 1's initial motion

Question

You're rolling solid rubber balls on the kitchen floor. Ball 1 has a density of 1.16 × 103 kg/m3 and a radius of 28.0 mm. Ball 2 has an unknown density and a radius of 43.0 mm and is initially at rest. You roll ball 1 at an initial speed of 3.00 m/s, and the two balls collide head-on. Ball 1 reverses direction and comes back to you at 2.00 m/s, and after the collision, the speed of ball 2 is 1.00 m/s. The positive x axis is in the direction of ball 1's initial motion.
