A 2.0 g particle moving at 7.2 m/s makes a perfectly elastic head-on collision with a resting 1.0 g object.
(a) Find the speed of each after the collision. 2.0 g particle m/s 1.0 g particle m/s
(b) Find the speed of each particle after the collision if the stationary particle has a mass of 10 g. 2.0 g particle m/s 1.0 g particle m/s
(c) Find the final kinetic energy of the incident 2.0 g particle in the situations described in (a) and (b).
KE in part (a) J
KE in part (b) J
In which case does the incident particle lose more kinetic energy? case (a) case (b)
