Elastic & Inelastic Collisions Worksheet

1. A 0.170 kg billiard ball traveling at 4 m/s has a head-on collision with a billiard ball of equal
mass that is initially at rest. The first ball is at rest after the collision. What is the speed of
the second ball after the collision?

2. A 25 g marble sliding to the right at 20 cm/s overtakes and collides with a 10 g marble
moving in the same direction at 15 cm/s. After the collision, the 10 g marble moves to the
right at 22 cm/s. Find the velocity of the 25 g marble after the collision.

3. A 5 g coin sliding to the right at 25 cm/s makes a head-on collision with a 15 g coin that is
initially at rest. After the collision, the 5 g coin moves to the left at 12.5 cm/s.
(a) Find the final velocity of the 15 g coin.

(b) Calculate the total kinetic energy of the system both before and after the collision.

(c) Is the collision elastic, inelastic, or perfectly inelastic?

Answers: (1) 4 m/s, (2) 17.2 cm/s to the right, (3) 12.5 cm/s to the right, 1.56 x 10–4 J both
before and after, elastic
