Answer #1

Momentum equation is   Direction of velocity will be reversed after collision. So momentum is changed

Kinetic energy equation is . Here even if the direction of velocity will be reversed after collision, the equation have the 'v' to be squared. So the Kinetic energy doesnot change

Question 3 One 2.5 kilogram piece of mass moving at 100 meters per second (m/s) collides and sticks to another 2.5 kilogram mass at rest. The resulting 5 kilogram mass continues in the same direction with some speed. No external forces act on these masses, and during the collision no particles are absorbed, but 3 × 1025 photons are emitted due to the collision. These photons all have a wavelength of 1.0 nm, and all of them move in the...
