Practice Questions

Question 1

A 3 kg object moving at 4 m/s collides elastically with a stationary 2 kg object. What is the final velocity of the 2 kg object after the collision?

Question 2

If a 0.5 kg ball moving at 10 m/s collides elastically with a stationary 1 kg ball, what is the final velocity of the 0.5 kg ball?

Question 3

A 2 kg object moving at 3 m/s collides inelastically with a stationary 4 kg object. What is their common final velocity after the collision?

Question 4

What is the impulse experienced by a 0.2 kg ball that changes its velocity from 5 m/s to 3 m/s?

Question 5

In a perfectly elastic collision between two identical masses, if one mass is initially at rest, what is the final velocity of the initially moving mass?
