Answer 1

Maybe you can split up the questions. I will try to answer your first question.

1. In an elastic collision, momentum is conserved. The momentum before the collision is equal to the momentum after the collision. This is a consequence of Newton's 3rd law. (Action = Reaction)

2. Momentum: p = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

m₁ mass of ball A
v₁ velocity of ball A
m₂ mass of ball B
v₂ velocity of ball B

Momentum before the collision:
p = 2*9 + 3*(-6) = 18 - 18 = 0

Momentum after the collision:
p = 2*(-9) + 3*6 = -18 + 18 = 0

3: mv + m(-v) = m(-v) + m(v)
the velocities would reverse.

4.This question is not factual since the energy of an elastic collision must also be conserved. The final velocities should be: v₁ = -1 m/s and v₂ = 5 m/s. That said assuming the given velocities were correct:
before collision
p = 10*3 + 5*(-3) = 30 - 15 = 15
after collision:
p = 10*(-2) + 5 * v₂ = 15
v₂ = 7

5.You figure out.
