m1 = 3 kg u1 v1 = u1/3
m2 = ? u2 = 0 v2 = ?
Elastic Collision => Conservation of Linear Momentum and Total Energy.
m1 u1 + m2 u2 = m1 v1 + m2 v2
3 u1 + 0 = 3 u1 /3 + m2 * v2
=> v2 = 2 u1/ m2
1/2 *3* u1² + 1/2 * m2 * 0 = 1/2 * 3* u1²/9 + 1/2 * m2 * v2²
u1² (8/3) = m2 * (2 u1 / m2)²
m2 = 4 * 3/8 = 1.5 kg
we can also find v2 = 2 u1 /1.5 = 4 u1 /3
m2 = ? u2 = 0 v2 = ?
