In practice, a red ice hockey puck collides with a blue, stationary hockey puck in an elastic head-on collision. Both the red and blue pucks have equal masses. Which statement is true of the pucks after the collision.
- A.
A. Both the red and blue pucks move away together.
- B.
B. The blue puck stops the red puck, then moves away from the collision with twice the red puck’s original velocity.
- C.
C. The blue puck stops the red puck, then moves away from the collision with half of the red puck’s original velocity.
- D.
D. The blue puck moves in the same direction, with the same velocity, as the red puck’s initial velocity. The red puck comes to rest.
Correct Answer
D. D. The blue puck moves in the same direction, with the same velocity, as the red puck’s initial velocity. The red puck comes to rest. -
