To solve the problem of finding the change in kinetic energy of a ball after an elastic collision with a wall, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Initial Conditions - We have a ball of mass \( m \) moving to the right with speed \( v \). - The wall is moving to the left with speed \( u \). ### Step 2: Determine the Initial Kinetic Energy of the Ball The initial kinetic energy \( KE_{initial} \) of the ball can be calculated using the formula: ...
