Q1. Two billiard balls, A and B, collide elastically. Ball A has a mass of 0.2 kg and a velocity of 4 m/s
to the right. Ball B has a mass of 0.3 kg and is initially at rest. After the collision, ball A moves to the
left with a velocity of 2 m/s. Determine the final velocity of ball B. ( 3 marks)

Q2. In an elastic collision between two objects, object X with a mass of 0.5 kg and a velocity of 3
m/s to the right collides with object Y, which has a mass of 0.8 kg and is stationary. After the
collision, object X rebounds with a velocity of 1 m/s to the left. Calculate the final velocity of object
Y. ( 3 marks)

Q5. A lighter particle moving with a speed of 10 m s-1 collides with an object of double its
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? (
