Question: A 6 2 0 - g object traveling at 2 . 1 m / s collides head - on with a 3 2 0 -
A g object traveling at ms collides headon with a g object traveling in the opposite direction at ms If the collision is perfectly elastic, what is the change in the kinetic energy of the g object?
hint: Before the velocity is negative for one of the mass. you don't need to convert g to kg After the collision the relative velocity is the same'with negative velocity
So VV V V V Vconservation of KE
and mVmV mVmVconservation of momentum
Find V and V then change m V m V
Group of answer choices
It loses J
It doesnt lose any kinetic energy because the collision is elastic.
It loses J
It gains J
It loses J
