Question
Two balls undergo a perfectly elastic head-on collision, with one ball initially at rest. If the incoming ball has a speed of 200m/s
What is the final direction of the stationary ball with respect to the initial direction of the incoming ball if the incoming ball is much more massive than the stationary ball? (forward, backward or not moving)
What is the final speed of the incoming ball if the stationary ball is much more massive than the incoming ball?
What is the final direction of the incoming ball with respect to the initial direction if the stationary ball is much more massive than the incoming ball? (foreward, backward or not moving)

What is the final direction of the stationary ball with respect to the initial direction of the incoming ball if the stationary ball is much more massive than the incoming ball? (foreward, backward, or not moving)
Explanation / Answer
A) Final speed of the ball remains the same,i.e. 200m/s
B) final direction of the incoming ball also remains the same.
C)final speed of the stationary ball becomes (2
