Honors Physics Worksheet - Elastic Collisions

This worksheet is designed to assess your understanding of elastic collisions.

AB
A ball of mass 0.440 kg moving east with a speed of 3.70 m/s collides head-on with a 0.220-kg ball at rest. If the collision is perfectly elastic, what will be the speed and direction of each ball after the collision?v1' = 1.5 m/s and v2' = 6 m/s
A 0.450-kg ice puck, moving east with a speed of 3.00 m/s, has a head-on collision with a 0.900-kg puck initially at rest. Assuming a perfectly elastic collision, what will be the speed and direction of each object after the collision?v1' = -3 m/s and v2' = 2 m/s
Two billiard balls of equal mass undergo a perfectly elastic head-on collision. If the speed of one ball was initially 2.00 m/s, and of the other 3.00 m/s in the opposite direction, what will be their speeds after the collision?v1' = -5.27 m/s and v2' = 8.73 m/s
