- Speed amplifier. Block 1 of mass
m1 slides along an x axis on a
frictionless floor with a speed of Then it undergoes a
one-dimensional elastic collision with stationary block 2 of mass
m2 = 0.500m1. Next, block 2
undergoes a onedimensional elastic collision with stationary block
3 of mass m3 = 0.500m2. (a)
What then is the speed of block 3? (b) Are the kinetic energy, and
the momentum of block 3 greater than, less than, or the same as the
initial values for block 1?
