But where is alpha in your formulas? u1 and u2 depand on alpha as well... Energy conservation: m_{1}v_{1}^2 = m_{1}u_{1}^2 + m_{2}u_{2}^2 Momentum conservation: m_{1}v_{1}= m_{1}u_{1}\cos\alpha + m_{2}u_{2}\cos\beta m_{1}u_{1}\sin\alpha = m_{2}u_{2}\sin\beta Need to solve these...

Consider the elastic collision of two particles with rest masses m1 and m2. Particle 1 is moving with speed v1 and particle 2 is at rest. We choose the coordinate system such that particle 1 is initially moving along the x axis. The two vectors, initial and final velocity of particle 1, will...

Yep I know, I get three equations (1 from energy, and 2 from the momentum vector) with 3 variables, but they are very cumbersome - I can't find a solution...

Hi, I need to find an expression for u1 and u2 using m1, m2, v1 and alpha. See attached image for more details. Thanks in advance, Or Ozery

Hi! I need to make a project in C/C++ for next year. I thought it would be nice if it will relates to physics. Right now, my only ideas are a virtual physics lab or a billiard game. Do you have any ideas/tips for me? Thanks, Or Ozery
