A puck traveling at 6 m/s in the + x direction hits a wall and bounces back. Right after the collision with the wall, it is traveling in the -x-direction at 6 m/s.

What type of collision occurred? (Assume the wall does not move)

a. Elastic

b. Inelastic

c. There is as yet insufficient data for a meaningful answer

2. Two pucks collide with each other. After the collision, they do not stick together. Is kinetic energy conserved in the collision?
