2. Two blocks of masses m₁ = 1 kg and m₂ =1.5 kg respectively, collide elastically.
Their initial velocities are v₁ = 2 m/s and v₂ = -1 m/s.
v₁ = 2 m/s
V₂ = 1 m/s
v₁ = ?
v₂ = 1.4 m/s
Calculate the following:
(a) The momentum of the system before the collision
(b) The momentum of the system after the collision
(c) If the block on the right moves off at 1.4 m/s after the collision, what is the
velocity of the block on the left after collision?
