Question
A 50.0g steel ball moving at 5.00m/s strikes a200.0g steel ball that's at rest. Assume the collision isone-dimensional elastic collision. Find the A.)total intial momentum of the two steel balls B.) total intial kinetic energy of the two steel balls C.) Final velocity of the 50.0g steel ball D.)final velocity of the 200.0g steel ball. please answer all parts. A 50.0g steel ball moving at 5.00m/s strikes a200.0g steel ball that's at rest.

Final velocity of the 50.0g steel ball D.)final velocity of the 200.0g steel ball. please answer all parts.Explanation / Answer
A) Total momentum will equal m1vo1 +m2vo2 B) KE = (m1vo12)/2 +(m2vo22)/2 C and D) From conservation of momentum m1vo1+ m2vo2 = m1vf1 +m2vf2 - just solve for vf1 and vf2
