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.)
_______
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
ANSWER:
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.
i) Mass 1 is initially moving in the +x direction and has 20 Joules of kinetic energy. It collides perfectly elastically with mass 2 moving at in the -x direction with 14 Joules of kinetic energy. After the collision, mass 2 has 20 Joules of kinetic energy. How much kinetic energy does mass 1 have after the collision in Joules? (Note: the masses are not needed to answer this question.) ii) Mass 1 of 10 kg is initially moving at...
A mass is moving at 8 m/s in the +x direction and it collides in a perfectly elastic collision with a mass of 3 kg moving in the -x direction. The collision takes places in 0.21 seconds and after the collision the mass that was moving in the +x direction is moving in the -x direction at 9 m/s and the mass that was moving in the -x direction is moving in the +x direction at 11 m/s. What is...
Mass 1 is initially moving 7.5m/s in the +x direction and collides in a perfectly elastic ally with Mass 2 moving in the -x direction at 8.4 m/s. After the collision, Mass 1 is now moving in the -x direction at 6.7m/s. What is the velocity of Mass 2 after the collision in m/s? Indicate -x direction by including a negative sign.

A proton (mass 1 u) moving at 9.00 10^(6) m/s collides elastically and head-on with a second particle moving in the opposite direction at 2.00 10^(6) m/s. After the collision, the proton is moving opposite to its initial direction at 5.40 10^(6) m/s. Find the mass and final velocity of the second particle. [Take the proton's initial velocity to be in the positive direction.]
A 2.0-kg mass moving at 5.0 m/s suddenly collides head-on with a 3.0-kg mass at rest. If the collision is perfectly inelastic, what is the speed of the masses just after the collision? 2.5 m/s 10 m/s 2.0 m/s 0 m/s, since the collision is inelastic
A mass of 5 kg is moving at 8.2 m/s in the positive x direction and collides in a perfectly elastic collision with a second mass which is not at rest. After the collision, the second mass is moving at 12.3 m/s in the +x direction. If the 5 kg mass stops after the collision, what is the amount of the second mass in kg?
