Question

Object A has a mass 4 kg and is traveling to the right at speed 6 m/s. Object B is traveling to the left at 6 m/s. The objects collide head-on, and afterward each has a speed of 6 m/s. Which of the following could be the mass of object B? Select two of the answers below

A. 4 kg

B. 6 kg

C. Negligible compared to 4 kg

D. 2 kg

Expert Solution

Step 1

$Mass of object A (m) = 4 k g Mass of object B = M Initial velocity of object A = 6 \frac{m}{s} (t o w a r d s r i g h t) Initial velocity of B = 6 \frac{m}{s} (t o w a r d s l e f t) Final speed of each object (V) = 6 \frac{m}{s}$
