Question 1
1.

A 12 kg mass is moving to the right with a velocity of 16.5 m/s. A 14 kg mass is moving to the left with a velocity of 15 m/s. Assuming that these two objects have a head-on collision and separate after, what will be the final velocity of the 12 kg mass if the final velocity of the 14kg mass is 6 m/s?

Which is true for the Speed Time Graph above?
A person walks away from the origin, take a break, and then walks further away from the origin. Finally, they return back to the origin.
A person increases their speed to 15 m/s then takes a break. After their break, they decide to run again until they reach a speed of 25 m/s. After they reach this high speed, they return to the origin
