Question

A 46. g marble moving at 2.10m/s strikes a 28.0 g marble at rest. What is the speed of each marble immediately after the collision? Note that the collision is elastic and that it is a "head-on" collision so all motion is along a line.

Answer 1

The final speed of the two marbles after the elastic collision is 1.455 m/s for marble A and 0.929 m/s for marble B.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem, we can use the conservation of momentum to solve for the final velocities of the marbles.
