Abstract

The solution for a two-body elastic collision in one dimension is well known. Let u_1, u_2 be the initial velocities and ν_1, ν_2 be the velocities after collision, where the indices 1 and 2 refer to the particle with mass m_1 and m_2, respectively. The final velocities can be solved in terms of the initial velocities.
