A 30.0-g object moving to the right at 20.5 cm/s overtakes and collides elastically with a 11.0-g object moving in the same direction at 15.0 cm/s. Find the velocity of each object after the collision. (Take the positive direction to be to the right. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)

Expert Solution

Here the collision is elastic hence momentum is conserved

According to conservation of momentum,

Total momentum before collision is equal to total momentum after collision
