A ball is attached to one end of a wire, the other end being fastened to the ceiling. The wire is held horizontal, and the ball is released from rest (see the drawing). It swings downward and strikes a block initially at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface. Air resistance is negligible, and the collision is elastic. The masses of the ball and block are, respectively, 1.6 kg and 2.5 kg, and the length of the wire is 1.35 m. Find the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the ball (a) just before the collision, and (b) just after the collision.

the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the ball)  just before the collision is

The  velocity (magnitude and direction) of the ball)  just after  the collision is

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy;

Thus; the velocity (magnitude and direction) of the ball)  just before the collision is

Since, Air resistance is negligible, and the collision is elastic.

The equation for the conservation of momentum and energy can be expressed as:

The  velocity (magnitude and direction) of the ball)  just after  the collision is

if you answer my question i will answer yours

luster is not a good characteristic to use by itself because luster is the property of minerals that indicates how much the surface of a mineral reflects light. the luster of a mineral is affected by the brilliance of the light used to observe the mineral surface.
