Exam Integrated-Physical-Sciences Topic 1 Question 21 Discussion

Actual exam question for WGU's Integrated-Physical-Sciences exam
Question #: 21
Topic #: 1
Ball 1 is moving and ball 2 is still. Both balls have the same mass.
What happens to the motion of the two balls if ball 1 strikes ball 2 head on in an elastic collision?

Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer

**Elastic collision with equal masses:** When two identical masses collide elastically, the moving ball (ball
1) will transfer all its momentum to the stationary ball (ball 2). - **Post-collision velocities:** After the collision, ball 1 will come to rest, and ball 2 will move with the same velocity that ball 1 had before the collision. - **Conclusion:** Ball 1 stops, and ball 2 moves at the velocity ball 1 had before the collision.
**References:** Classical mechanics textbooks, conservation of momentum and energy in elastic collisions, and resources on head-on collisions.
