Ball a of mass 5.0 kg moving at 20 meters per second collides with ball b of unknown mass moving at 10. meters per second in the same direction. after the collision, ball a moves at 10 meters per second and ball b at 15 meters per second, both still in the same direction. what is the mass of ball b

The mass of ball B is 10 kg.

Explanation;

Mass of ball A =

Velocity of the ball A before collision:

Velocity of ball A after collision=

Mass of ball B=

Velocity of the ball B before collision:

Velocity of ball B after collision=

The mass of ball B is 10 kg.

russian is not my first language, so i'm afraid i can't write out an answer in russian, but hopefully you can find a way to do so. here's my best translation of the problem: you're given a plot of a particle's position in one-dimensional space over time, and you're asked to find either the total distance traveled by the particle after 6 seconds had elapsed, or the total displacement of the particle after 6 seconds.

if you want the total distance traveled, you would first need to determine the particle's velocity as a function of time, then integrate that over the 6-second interval. we know the position function is quadratic with roots at 0 and 6, so we have

where is unknown. because the position is parabolic, there is symmetry about the midpoint at , and we know that

so that the position function is

which means the velocity is

then the total distance traveled is

so the total distance traveled is 20 m.

on the other hand, if you want to find displacement: the particle starts at and ends at , so its displacement is 0.
