H2 Physics · JC 1 · Medium · Elastic and inelastic collisions
Two identical smooth spheres, each of mass , move directly towards each other with speeds 3.0 m s and 1.0 m s respectively. They collide head-on and elastically. What is the speed of each sphere after the collision?
- Both move apart at 2.0 m s.
- One moves at 1.0 m s, the other at 3.0 m s.
- Both come to rest after collision.
- Both move together at 2.0 m s.
