A Racquetball mr and Tennis Ball mt are thrown towards each other so that they have equal but opposite velocities before they collide. Take it that ū ri = +vi and ū ti = -Vi. Do not assume the collision is elastic or inelastic until parts c and d. After the collision, Vrf = 0 and : +vf, in the same direction as Vri a) (3 points) Draw a sketch of the collision, labeling the information you've been given Utf = b) (9 points) Using the information given above (no info about elastic/inelastic) prove that mt = mr Vi Vituf c) (3 points) Suppose the collision is completely INELASTIC. What is mt in terms of mr only? d) (5 points) Suppose the collision is completely ELASTIC. What is mt in terms of my only?
