Question

Mass 1 of 8 kg is initially moving at 10 m/s in the +x direction and it collides perfectly elastically with mass 2 of 3 kg initially at rest.


Mass 1 of 8 kg is initially moving at 10 m/s in the +x direction and it collides perfectly elastically with mass 2 of 3 kg initially at rest. What is the final velocity of mass 2 after the collision in m/s? (Note: the masses are not needed to answer this question.)

Answer #1

During collision momentum is conserved

Initial momentum = Final momentum

---------(1)

==========================

Since the collision is perfectly elastic, kinetic energy is also conserved

Initial kinetic energy = Final kinetic energy

Put (1) in the above equation

Multiply all terms with 8
