Types of Collisions
• Elastic
– KE and momentum are conserved
• Inelastic
– Momentum is conserved
– KE is not conserved
• Lost (heat, sound)
• Added (chemical reaction)
• Perfectly inelastic
– Momentum is conserved
– Two objects stick together after the collision
Elastic Collisions
• Both KE and momentum are conserved
m1v1i + m2v2i = m1v1f + m2v2f
m1v1i - m1v1f = m2v2f - m2v2i
m1(v1i - v1f) = m2(v2f - v2i)
½ m1v1i2 + ½ m2v2i2 = ½ m1v1f2 + ½ m2v2f2
m1v1i2 - m1v1f2 = m2v2f2 - m2v2i2
m1(v1i2 - v1f2) = m2(v2f2 - v2i2)
Remember that (a2 – b2) = (a + b)(a – b)
m1(v1i + v1f) (v1i - v1f) = m2 (v2i + v2f)(v2f - v2i)
Divide the yellow box equations:
m1(v1i + v1f) (v1i - v1f) = m2 (v2i+ v2f)(v2f - v2i)

Elastic Collisions: Example 1
A cue ball moving at 2.0 m/s strikes the red ball.
What is the speed of both balls after the elastic
collision if they have equal mass?
Elastic Collisions: Example 2
Two pool balls of equal mass collide. One is
moving to the right at 20 cm/s, and the other to
the left at 30 cm/s. Calculate their velocities
after they collide elastically.
+20 cm/s
-30 cm/s
vwf = -50 cm/s + vbf
vwf = -50 cm/s + (+20 cm/s) = -30 cm/s
+20 cm/s
-30 cm/s
-30 cm/s
+20 cm/s
Note how they exchanged velocities (because they have equal mass)
mvci + mvri = mvcf + mvrf all masses are equal
mvci + 0 = mvcf + mvrf
The red ball is still
vci = vcf + vrf
Factored out the m
2.0 m/s = vcf + vrf
Need another equation
vci + vcf = vri + vrf
2.0 m/s + vcf = 0 + vrf`
Substitute
vrf` = 2.0 m/s + vcf
2.0 m/s = vcf + 2.0 m/s + vcf
0 = 2vcf or vcf = 0
2.0 m/s = vcf + vrf = 0 + vrf
vrf = 2.0 m/s
mvwi + mvbi = mvwf + mvbf
vwi + vbi = vwf + vbf
20 cm/s + (-30 cm/s) = vwf + vbf
-10 cm/s = vwf + vbf
Need another equation
vwi + vwf = vbi + vbf
KE is conserved
vwf = vbi + vbf - vwi
vwf = -30 cm/s + vbf – 20 cm/s
vwf = -50 cm/s + vbf
Now substitute
-10 cm/s = -50 cm/s + vbf + vbf
40 cm/s = 2vbf
vbf = +20 cm/s

Calculate the velocities of the particles after the

vpi + vpf = vhf
vhf = 3.60 X 104 m/s + (-2.15 X 104m/s)
vhf = 1.45 X 104 m/s
(vp = -5.04 X 104 m/s, vHe 3.6 X 103 m/s)
(1.00)(3.60X104) +(4.00)(-1.8X104) = 1.00v1f + 4.00v2f
-3.6X104 = 1.00v1f + 4.00v2f
A 2.00 kg mass moves east at 5.00 m/s and collides
elastically with a 3.00 kg mass travelling west at

5.40X104 +v1f = v2f
5.40X104 = -v1f + v2f
-3.6X104 = 1.00v1f + 4.00v2f
5.40X104 = -v1f + v2f
1.8 X 104 = 5v2f
v2f = 3.6 X 103 m/s

m1v1 + m2v2 = m1v1’ + m2v2’
m1v1 + m2v2 = (m1 + m2)vf
0 + (900 kg)(20.0 m/s) = (1800kg + 900kg)vf
vf = +6.67 m/s
How much KE was lost as a result of the
collision?
Ki = ½ (900 kg)(20 m/s)2 = 180,000 J
Kf = ½ (2700 kg)(6.67 m/s)2 = 60,000 J

Let’s first work with the initial components
Spix = (1500 kg)(25 m/s)
Spix = 37,500 kg-m/s
Spiy = (2500 kg)(20 m/s)
Spiy = 50,000 kg-m/s
After the collision:

vx = 9.375 m/s
After the collision:

50,000 kg-m/s = mvy
50,000 kg-m/s = (1500 kg + 2500 kg)vy

4. A softball of mass 0.200 kg is moving at a speed
of 5.50 m/s. It collides elastically with another
ball that is initially at rest. Afterward it is found
that the incoming softball has bounced backward
with a speed of 3.70 m/s. Calculate the velocity
of the target ball and the mass of the target
ball.
