2. Suppose you have a one-dimensional collision with m1 = 450 g and m2 400. g. The initial velocities are given to be Vli 2.3 m/s, v2i -1.1 m/s and the final velocity of m2 is v2f = 1.2 m/s. What is the final velocity of mi? 3. Is the collision in problem 2 elastic? You can determine this by calculating the initial and final total kinetic energies and seeing if they are the same, or by calculating the coefficient of restitution and seeing if it is equal to 1.

A head-on, elastic collision occurs between two billiard balls of equal mass. If a red ball is traveling to the right with speed it and a blue ball is traveling to the left with speed Sv before the collision, what statement is true concerning their velocities subsequent to the collision? Neglect any effects of spin. (a) The red ball travels to the left with speed v, while the blue ball travels to the right with speed 3v. (b) The red ball travels to the left with speed v, while the blue ball continues to move to the left with a speed 2v. (c) The red ball travels to the left with speed St, while the blue ball travels to the right with speed v. (d) Their final velocities cannot be determined because momentum is not conserved in the collision. (e) The velocities cannot be determined without knowing the mass of each ball.
