Two balls collide in a head-on elastic collision and rebound in opposite directions. One ball has velocity 1.2 m/s before the collision, and −2.3 m/s after. The other ball has a mass of 1.1 kg and a velocity of −4.2 m/s before the collision. (a) What is the mass of the first ball? (b) What is the velocity of the second ball after the collision?

Answer:

If two particles are involved in an elastic collision, the velocity of the second particle after collision can be expressed as: v2f=2⋅m1(m2+m1)v1i+(m2−m1)(m2+m1)v2i v 2 f = 2 ⋅ m 1 ( m 2 + m 1 ) v 1 i + ( m 2 − m 1 ) ( m 2 + m 1 ) v 2 i .
