Just a question. I'm just getting back into re-learning my physics, and learning physics I never had a chance to study.
But...Do you know?... If two atoms - with velocities - collide and recoil, how much energy is lost from their velocities/momentum?
Is there a formula?...Does it have ugly partial derivatives? (I've completely forgotten how to do them - they look like ugly squiggles to me)
