Elastic collisions in one dimension: A 620-g object traveling at 2.1 m/s collides head-on with a 320-g object traveling in the opposite direction at 3.8 m/s. If the collision is perfectly elastic, what is the change in the kinetic energy of the 620-g object?
A) It loses 0.23 J.
B) It gains 0.69 J.
C) It loses 0.47 J.
D) It loses 1.4 J.
E) It doesn't lose any kinetic energy because the collision is elastic.
