Topic : Collisions and Conservation of Momentum

1. A 0.2 kg ball moves to the right with a speed of 3 m/s. It hits a 0.5 kg ball, which is at rest? After the collision, the second ball moves to the right with a speed of 1 m/s. What is the speed of the first ball after the collision?

2. A 1000 kg rocket carrying 25 kg of fuel and oxygen rises at a velocity of 305 m/s. If all the mass of fuel and oxygen is burned to form gases of combustion, what is the downward velocity of these gases?
