    A collision in which there is absolutely no loss of K.E. is called an elastic collision. In such a collision, the linear momentum , total energy and kinetic energy, all are conserved.The coefficient of restitution // resilience of perfectly elastic collisions is unity. Read the above passage and answer the following questions : (i) When two bodies of equal masses undergo perfectly elastic collision in one dimension, what happens to their velocities ?
