Let two objects of equal mass m collide. Object 1 has initial velocityv, directed to the right, and object 2 isinitially stationary.

If the collision is perfectly elastic, whatare the final velocities v_1 and v_2 of objects 1 and 2?

    Our equation 1 would be

    m*v=M*V1+m*V2

    v=V1+V2

    v-V1=V2

    the equation 2 would look like this

    V^2=V1^2+V2^2

    V^2-V1^2=V2^2

    (V-V1) * (V+V1) = V2^2Dividing with the 1

    V+V1=V2
