Is it possible to solve for an elastic collision when vb and v'a are the two unknowns? I have been trying for a few hours to solve for either unknown using the conservation of momentum and the conservation of total kinetic energy equations but have come up with nothing. Can anyone help?
mava +mbvb = mav'a + mbv'b
1/2mav2a +1/2mbv2b = 1/2mav'2a + 1/2mbv'2b
mava +mbvb = mav'a + mbv'b
1/2mav2a +1/2mbv2b = 1/2mav'2a + 1/2mbv'2b
