The velocities of the two bodies after the elastic collisions are given by V1=(M1-M2)U1/(M1+M2)+2M2U2/(M1+M2) V2=(M2-M1)U2/(M1+M2)+2U1M1/(M1+M2) Where, V1,V2 are the velocities of the two bodies after collision. U1,U2 are the velocities of the two bodies before colision.(U1>U2) M1,M2 are the masses of the two bodies. when the mass of two bodies are equal that is M1= M2 then V1=0+2MU2/2M=U2 V2=0+2MU1/2M=U1 Thus when two billiard balls of equal masses undergo perfectly elastic collision the velocities the two bodies are interchanged after the collision.

What happens to kinetic energy during gas particle collisions?

Gas particle collisions are generally modeled to be perfectly elastic (i.e., there is no change in the kinetic energy before and after the collision). This is very close to reality, since the gas particles have little internal structure which can undergo permanent deformation.


What is a gas which the particles undergo elastic collisions?

Ideal Gas


What is an example of deformation?

In an elastic deformation, the object will return to its original shape afterwards (like tapping your arm softly with a needle, without piercing the skin). In a plastic deformation the object will first undergo elastic deformation, but then undergo a deformation that changes the shape of the material. (like tapping your arm with a needle that pierces through the skin and leaves a small wound).

Is helium inflammable?

No it isn't. Helium is the most perfectly inert of all the elements. It does not undergo chemical reactions of any kind, under any circumstances.

What happens during elastic deformation for drugs?

Elastic deformation occurs when an opposing force is applied to the drug after particle rearrangement (i.e. the initial repacking of the particles). If the force is released before the yield point is reached, the particles of the drug will return to their original shape. However, if the force goes beyond the yield point, the powder will undergo plastic deformation or brittle fracture.


What are the benefits of thermoplastics?

More flexible than thermosetting plastics: they can undergo both elastic and plastic deformation without too much trouble. They can also be reformed and remoulded when reheated however they cannot withstand temperatures as high as thermosetting plastics.
