Physics

Elastic unequal mass collision: We have a similar situation asin the previous question but now truck A has mass mA and initialvelocity uA. Truck B has mass mB and is initially at rest. Thecollision is elastic. (a) Show the subsequent velocities vA, vB inthe laboratory frame are: vA = (mA − mB)uA/(mA + mB), vB =2mAuA/(mA + mB). On the basis of these results, find the velocitiesin the two limiting cases: (i) mA >> mB; (ii) mA << mB.(b) Find the subsequent initial and final velocities u′ A, u′ B andv′ A, v′ B in the CM Frame
