An object of mass m1=5kg is moving with a speed of vli-12m/s and collides with another object at rest, that has a mass m2=7kg. After the clastie collision these two objects move with different speeds. What is the speed of m1 and m2 after the collision?
Here m1= 5 kg, u1= 12 m/s
m2= 7 kg , u2=0
After Elastic collition
velocity of m1 = v1 = ( (m1-m2) /(m1+m2) ) * u1 + ( 2m2/(m1+m2) ) * u2
if u2= 0 the v1 = ( (m1-m2) /(m1+m2) ) * u1 = ( (5-7) /(5+7) ) * 12 = -2 m/s
So velocity of M1 = -2 m/s
Now Velocity of m2 = V2 = ( 2m1/(m1+m2) ) * u1 + ( (m2-m1) /(m1+m2) ) * u2
if U2=0 then V2 = ( 2m1/(m1+m2) ) * u1 = ( 2*5/(5+7) ) * 12 = 10 m/s
So velocity of M2 = 10 m/s
