The assignment for filling in the table seems like a great way for students to check their learning.

do KE and P both work for the final trial w/ elastic collisions? I think the -4.6 m/s value needs to be revised to -1.587 m/s (assuming 1.00 kg object is the "attacking" one)

Thanks for the update! I noticed the issue myself and had updated it in word, but lost my file. Went to download it again, and saw it had been fixed. Awesome!
