Question

A lighter particle moving with a speed of 10 m/s collides with an object of double its mass moving in the same direction with half its speed. Assume that the collision is a one dimensional elastic collision. What will be the speed of both particles after the collision ? ​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Depending on the energy conservation, conservation may be of two types: Elastic Collision: In the elastic collision total momentum, the total energy and the total kinetic energy are conserved. ... The speed after the collision of these masses is v1 and v2 .
