Problem 1
The collision shown in the simulation is an elastic collision.
If the mass of the blue ball is equal to the purple ball, what happens?
If the mass of the blue ball is greater than the purple ball, what
happens?
If the mass of the blue ball is less than the purple ball, what
happens?
If kinetic energy was not conserved during the collision and the
final velocity of the blue ball was zero, would that imply that the
mass of the blue ball equalled the mass of the red ball?
