define linear momentum and calculate the momentum of a mass of 10 kg travelling at 30 miles/hours . a stationary mass of 100g is struck by a mass of 25 g moving at 10m/s assuming the collision is perfectly elastic, What is the velocity of the two masses after the impact? Repeat the calculation assuming the collision is perfectly inelastic?
