0804 Elastic Collision
Collision in whichbodies collide and seperate, the velocties are exchanged if purely elastic, where both and are conserved. Examples: billizard balls.
For any two masses, . Let the momentum before and after collision be and , the kinetic energy before and after collision be and

(8.46) A 0.152 kg glider is moving to the right on a frictionless, horizontal air track with a speed of 0.830 m/s. It has a head-on collision with a 0.307 kg glider that is moving to the left with a speed of 2.30 m/s. Suppose the collision is elastic.
(a) Find the magnitude and direction of the final velocity of the 0.152 kg glider.
(b) Find the magnitude and direction of the final velocity of the 0.307 kg glider.

(8.48) A 10.0 g marble slides to the left with a velocity of magnitude 0.400 m/s on the frictionless, horizontal surface of an icy New York sidewalk and has a head-on, elastic collision with a larger 30.0 g marble sliding to the right with a velocity of magnitude 0.200 m/s. Let be to the right. (Since the collision is head-on, all the motion is along a line.)
