Question

Can someone help me get started on this? I think I know what to do but I cannot afford to fail this.

Answer 1

The answer to your question is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Momentum after collision Momentum after collision

v before collison (0.5)(0.5)(1)² + (0.5)(0.5)(0)²

0.25 + 0

0.25

after elastic collision (0.5)(0.5)(0)² + (0.5)(0.5)(1)²

0 + 0.25

+ 0.25

after inelastic collision (0.5)(0.5 + 0.5)(0.5)²

(0.5)(1)(0.5)²

0.125
