Elastic Collision of two particles. wiki Elastic Collision
Solve Conservation of Momentum and Kinetic Energy Equations for a point elastic collision.
m1*u1+m2*u2=m1*v1+m2*v2
m1*u1^2+m2*u2^2=m1*v1^2+m2*v2^2
Elastic Collision Gifs from wikipedia. [used < < copy image location > >]
Given [m1,u1,m2,u2] solve for v1 and v2 under ideal elastic collision conditions.
