Derive final velocities `V_1 and V_2` after perfectly elastic collision.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To derive the final velocities \( V_1 \) and \( V_2 \) after a perfectly elastic collision, we will use the principles of conservation of momentum and the coefficient of restitution. ### Step 1: Define the Variables Let: - \( m_1 \) = mass of the first object - \( m_2 \) = mass of the second object - \( u_1 \) = initial velocity of the first object before collision - \( u_2 \) = initial velocity of the second object before collision ...
