Physics: Unit: Momentum and collisions Two objects of masses m and 3m undergo a collision in one dimension. The lighter object is moving at three times the speed of the heavier object. Describe what happens to their speeds after the collisions. Explain your reasoning and assume that the lighter mass is moving to the right (Hint :== m1Vi1 + m2Vi2 = m1Vf1 + m2Vf2) – you need to use the same formula but along with the conservation of momentum
