A29 Distinguish between an elastic collision and an
inelastic collision.
A particle A of mass moving with an initial
velocity u makes a 'head-on' collision with
another particle Bof mass 2m, B being initially
at rest. In terms of u, calculate the final velocity
of A if the collision is (i) elastic, (ii) inelastic,
(assume that the two particles adhere on
collision).
