Suppose we model a golf club hitting a stationary golf ball as a one-dimensional elastic collision between the moving club and the stationary ball. Suppose the golfer can swing the club so that the 0.200 kg head has a velocity of 48 m/s when it strikes the ball of mass 0.045 kg.

Determine the speed of the ball after the collision.
If the golfer uses a heavier mass club, one with double the mass, and was able to swing with the same speed, what speed would the ball have after the collision?
In which of the cases above did the club have a larger change in momentum? In which did it have a larger change in velocity?

A moving ball (ball #1) makes a perfectly elastic collision with a stationary ball (ball #2)....

A moving ball (ball #1) makes a perfectly elastic collision with a stationary ball (ball #2). After the collision it is observed that the speed of ball #2 is five times that of ball #1. Determine the angles θ1 and θ2 that the two balls scatter as measured from the initial direction of ball #1. You may assume that the two balls have identical masses, and you may need the identity sin2(x) + cos2(x) = 1. Please explain any concepts...

Suppose a 10 kg ball makes a one dimensional collision with a 5 kg ball. Think about what could happen to the velocity of the 5 kg ball as a result of the collision. Could it remain unchanged? Could it increase? Could it decrease? Is it possible for both balls to end up traveling in the same direction after the collision? For each result you think could happen, please briefly explain why and offer an example of starting conditions that...
