Q. A 0.450-kg hockey puck, moving east with a speed of 4.20 m/s, has a head-on collision with a 0.900-kg puck initially at rest. Assuming a perfectly elastic collision, what will be the speed and direction of each object after the collision. A ball of mass m makes a head-on-elastic collision with a second ball (at rest) and rebounds with a speed equal to one-fourth its original speed. What is the mass of the second ball?
Q. An astronaut applies a force of 500 N to an asteroid, and it accelerates at 7.00 m/s2. What is the asteroid's mass?
