Physics · Collisions
Two identical balls, each of mass 3.0 kg, collide elastically in a one-dimensional collision. The first ball moves with a velocity of 5.0 m/s towards the second ball, which is initially at rest. What are the final velocities v1 and v2 of the first ball and the second ball, respectively, after the collision?

- 1v1 = 0 m/s, v2 = 5.0 m/s✓
- 2v1 = 2.5 m/s, v2 = 2.5 m/s
- 3v1 = 1.0 m/s, v2 = 4.0 m/s
- 4v1 = 5.0 m/s, v2 = 0 m/s
Correct answer
v1 = 0 m/s, v2 = 5.0 m/s
