Question: I don't understand why answer choice 8 is wrong... I thought that for an elastic collision, V1 (initial velocity of the hammer) would equal V2'

I don't understand why answer choice 8 is wrong... I thought that for an elastic collision, V1 (initial velocity of the hammer) would equal V2' (final velocity of the ball). Thank you in advance :).

018 10.0 points Consider the elastic headon collision between a sledge hammer with 8000 g mass and a golf ball with a 5 g mass. The initial velocity of the sledge hammer is 14 m / s , and the golf ball is initially at rest. Estimate the approximate nal speed 122 of the golf ball. 1.
