Question

(a)What is elastic collision in one dimension? What are its characteristics of elastic collision.

(b) Suppose two bodies of masses m1 and m2 having initial velocities u1 and u2 are

undergoing elastic collision in one dimension. After collision the velocities of two bodies get

changed. Apply the idea of conditions in elastic collision derive the expression for the final

velocities of that two bodies after elastic collision.​

Answer 1

Answer:

An elastic collision is one that conserves internal kinetic energy. Conservation of kinetic energy and momentum together allow the final velocities to be calculated in terms of initial velocities and masses in one dimensional two-body collisions.
