Question

Derive an expression for final velocities of two bodies in case of one dimensional elastic collision​

Answer 1

Answer:

Inelastic Collision Formula

V= Final velocity. M1= mass of the first object in kgs. M2= mas of the second object in kgs. V1= initial velocity of the first object in m/s.

Answer 2

Explanation:

An elastic collision is one that also conserves internal kinetic energy. Internal kinetic energy is the sum of the kinetic energies of the objects in the system.

Truly elastic collisions can only be achieved with subatomic particles, such as electrons striking nuclei. Macroscopic collisions can be very nearly, but not quite, elastic—some kinetic energy is always converted into other forms of energy such as heat transfer due to friction and sound. One macroscopic collision that is nearly elastic is that of two steel blocks on ice. Another nearly elastic collision is that between two carts with spring bumpers on an air track. Icy surfaces and air tracks are nearly frictionless, more readily allowing nearly elastic collisions on them.
