Question

Two balls of equal mass collide. One of them experiences an acceleration of 12m/s 2 at one moment.
What acceleration does the other ball experience at the same time?

Answer 1

Answer:

12m/s²

Explanation:

Two balls with equal masses and speed engage in a head-on elastic collision. Since the balls of equal mass are moving at equal and opposite speeds, the total linear momentum of the system is zero.

Therefore, the second ball experience an acceleration of 12m/s² at the same time.
