In a head-on collision between several objects, five objects were observed moving to the right of the point of collision. Which of the following is true about this collision?

Question

There must have been at least one object moving to the left of the point of collision.

Each object had the same amount of mass.

None of these answers are correct.

All objects involved in the collision moved in the same direction.

Answer 1

In a head-on collision, if five objects are observed moving to the right after the collision, it does not necessarily imply that there was at least one object moving to the left before the collision. It is possible for all objects involved in the collision to have been moving to the right initially or to have combined characteristics of motion resulting in a rightward movement post-collision.

However, the assertion that "All objects involved in the collision moved in the same direction" is also incorrect because we don't have information about the initial directions of the other objects involved in the collision.

Given these points, the correct answer from the provided options is:

None of these answers are correct.
