Question

A block of mass m = 2.3 kg, moving on a frictionless surface with a speed vi = 9.4 m/s, makes a perfectly elastic collision with a block of mass M at rest. After the collision, the 2.3 kg block recoils with a speed of vf = 1.8 m/s. In the figure, the speed of the block of mass M after the collision is closest to:

answer is 7.6m/s but how do i solve it

Explanation / Answer

Most siple approach to this question is


in ELASTIC COLLISION


Velocity od approach= velocity of seperation


==> 9.4=v+1.8


==> v=7.6 m/s

no need for energy or momentum conservation...
