Physics Class TesT Collisions and Momentum

The document contains a 10 question physics test on collisions between objects. Questions 1-7 deal with elastic collisions between two objects or balls, providing the mass and initial velocity of each object and asking students to calculate the final velocity of one object after collision. Questions 8-10 deal with inelastic collisions between two cars or balls, where the objects stick together after collision, and asks students to calculate the final velocity of the combined system. Students have 40 minutes to complete the 30 point test.

mass moving in the same direction with half its speed. Assume that the collision is a one
dimensional elastic collision. What will be the speed of both particles after the collision? (
