Ignoring all outside forces, which of the below situations is NOT a possibility for an Elastic Collision? (A) B C D A light object flies quickly forward toward a slow moving heavy object. They collide in a head on collision and both objects stop right where they collide. A light object flies forward, toward a stationary, heavy object. The light object bounces back, and the heavy object begins moving forward. A heavy object flies forward, toward a stationary, light object. The light object gets launched forward at high speed and the heavy object continues moving forward, but slightly slower. A fast moving light object collides in a head on collision with a slow moving heavy object. They collide and each bounce back the way they originally came.
