A white ball traveling at 5.0 m/s east hits a stationary orange ball that has
the same mass. The white ball stops, and the orange ball moves away at 5.0
m/s east. What is true for this collision?
The collision is inelastic because kinetic energy is conserved.
A
B
The collision is inelastic because kinetic energy is not conserved.
C The collision is elastic because kinetic energy is conserved.
D The collision is elastic because kinetic energy is not conserved.
