Consider a one-dimensional elastic collision in which a moving ball A collides with a stationary ball B. Assume that the two balls have equal masses.
(a) Write an equation for the conservation of momentum of the system. (Make use of p vector = m v vector.)
(b) Write an equation fin the conservation of kinetic energy of the system. (Make use of K E = 1/2 mv^2.)
(c) Solve the two previous equations simultaneously and discuss the implications of this result on the possible final velocities of the first and second balls.
