In the perfectly elastic case, is there another mathematicalexpression for the velocities that conserves both momentum andenergy? If so, what is it, and why do we neglect this possibility?If not, show this (calculate v1f and v2f fromv1i and v2iwhile making sure you do not haveany holes in your argument along the way - e.g., do you ever divideby something that could be zero?).
