Inelastic
4. A ball of mass 25 g traveling at 12 m/s bounces INelastically into a 2nd ball of mass 50 g.
What are the final velocities and momentum of each ball?
5. A ball of mass 25 g traveling east at 12 m/s bounces elastically into a 2nd ball of mass 50
g that is traveling west at 4m/s. What are the final velocities and momentum of each
ball? (Hint: either solve the systems of equations for momentum and energy
simultaneously or come up with a relative velocity system…)
6. Use the results of 4 to show that energy is NOT conserved in an inelastic collision.
