Af Bf Ai Bi Ai 0, so Bf Ai Af.
mv +mv =mv +mv =mv + v =v −v Perfectly elastic collision (Ki =Kf):
2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 Af Bf Ai Bi Ai Af Bf Ai 1 1 1 1 1 0, so . 2mv +2mv =2mv +2mv =2mv + v +v =v Energy conservation: 2 Ai Ai 1 , so 2 . 2mv =mgh v = gh Find vAf in terms of vAi. 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 Ai Af Bf Af ( Ai Af) Af Ai 2 Ai Af Af , so Af( Af Ai) 0. v =v +v =v + v −v =v +v − v v +v v v −v = Thus, vAf =0 or vAi.
