Raffles Institution Physics Department Y5 H2 Physics Term 3 Remedial 6 C Did not account for change in direction and just take final speed minus initial speed as the change in velocity and wrong direction D Wrong direction ANS: B Worked Example 2 A Take total final momentum as the initial momentum of Y. B Add both final momentum without considering the direction and equate it as the initial momentum of Y. C Take rightward direction as positive. By Principle of Conservation of Momentum, Total initial momentum = Total final momentum 22 + py = 2 + 10 py = 14 N s Magnitude of momentum of Y = 14 N s D Take initial momentum of X as the initial momentum of Y.

OR Since relative speed of approach = relative speed of separation = 2.00 m s1, the collision is elastic. M1 A1 (c) At that instant, some of the kinetic energy has been converted into elastic potential energy in the springs.
