Question

Derive the equations forthe final speeds of two objects undergoing a perfectly elasticcollision, with one object initial at rest. Start with these two equations: momentum conservation- m1(v1x)i = m1(v1x)f + m2(v2x)f Energy Conservation- 1/2m1(v1x)i^2 = 1/2m1(v1x)f^2 +1/2m2(v2x)f^2 End with these two equations: (v1x)f = [ ( m1 - m2) / (m1 + m2) ]* (v1x)i (v2x)f = [ (2m1) / (m1 + m2) ]* (v1x)i Derive the equations forthe final speeds of two objects undergoing a perfectly elasticcollision, with one object initial at rest.

Explanation / Answer

Seems more of a statement than a Question.. You have all the equations.. Just looks like you have to plugand chug...
