Question

A 4.00 kg mass (mass 1) moves to the right with a speed of 3.00 m/s and collides with a 2.50 kg mass (mass 2) moving to the left with a speed of 1.50 m/s. Assuming the col- lision is elastic, what are the velocities of the first and second masses following the collision?

A. mass 1: 2.01 m/s to the right, mass 2: 1.43 m/s to the right

B. mass 1: -0.46 m/s, mass 2: 4.04 m/s to the right

C. mass 1: -1.05 m/s to the left, mass 2: 2.05 m/s to the right

D. mass 1: 1.81 m/s to the right, mass 2: 1.24 m/s to the right
