A 6.0-kg object moving 2.0 m/s in the positive x direction has a one-dimensional elastic collision with a 4.0-kg object moving 3.0 m/s in the opposite direction. What is the total kinetic energy of the two-mass system after the collision?
 a. 30 J
  b. 62 J
  c. 20 J
  d. 44 J
  e. 24 J

Question 2

 a. 7.5 kg
  b. 5.0 kg
  c. 6.0 kg
