Question

In the above problem, how do the forces exerted on each of the masses during the collision compare?
Select the correct expression ( A or C or AB or ...)

A) The force exerted on the larger mass is largest
B) Due to conservation of momentum, the forces exerted on each object is zero
C) The forces exerted on each mass have the same magnitude
D) The force exerted on the smaller mass is largest
E) All the forces have components only in the x direction


Problem Above:

A large mass moving at 14.53 m/s collides elastically with a smaller mass at rest. If the speed of the large mass after the collision is 4.42 m/s, what is the final speed of the small mass?

Answer to the Problem Above:

18.9 m/s
