An object (A) of mass 0.2kg strikes a second object (B), of mass 0.35kg that is initially at rest. Mass A has an initial velocity of +3 m/s.

1.A) First, assume that the collision is entirely inelastic. Calculate and describe the final state for these objects. Calculate the total energy for this system before and after the collision. Is mechanical energy conserved? If not, account account for the discrepancy.

B) Now assume that the collision is entirely elastic. Calculate and describe the final velocities for the two objects. Note: assume that this collision is entirely in one dimension.
