Consider two bodies A and B of masses m1 and m2 moving along the same straight line in the same direction with velocities u1 and u2 respectively. Assume that u1 > u2. The bodies A and B suffers a head on collision when they strike and continue to move along the same straight line with velocities v1 and v2 respectively. Assume the collision is elastic
1) show that u1 v1 = u2 u2
2) find an expression for v1 and v2 in terms of other perimeters
3) determine the expression of v1 and v2 when m1 = m2?
