A(n) 7.6 g object moving to the right at 20 cm/s makes an elastic head-on collision with a 23 g object moving in the opposite direction at 45 cm/is. 7.6 g 20 cm/s 23 g 45 cm/s Find the velocity of the first object immediately after the collision. Answer in units of cm/s.

Distance covered = speed x timethe distance traveled going against the stream = distance traveled with the stream.therefore it is the speed and the time that are the variables.as he travels the same distance both ways, speed x time is the same for each way.going upstream his speed is 4 kph; going downstream his speed is 6 kph.therefore we have two simultaneous equations: time upstream x 4 = time downstream x 6time upstream + time downstream = 60 minutestherefore we have the equation: time upstream = 6/10 hour, time downstream therefore = 4/10 hour.distance traveled at 4km/hr in 6/10 hour = 24/10 = 2.4km.check: distance traveled at 6km/hr in 4/10 hour = 24/10 = 2.4km.
