Question

In a 1-dimensional elastic collision between 2 objects, Object A and Object B,
vA, initial = 10 m/s and vB, initial = -4 m/s. If the masses of the 2 objects are related such that: mA =
½ mB, what will vA, final and vB, final be?

Answer 1

\[p_{A0}+p_{B0} = p_{Af}+p_{Bf}\]
\[m_Av_{0}+(1/2)m_Av_{B0} = m_Av_{f}+(1/2)m_Av_{f}\]
