Class 11 Physics (India): Solving elastic collision problems the hard way

In this video, David shows how to solve elastic problems the hard way. In other words, using conservation of momentum and conservation of kinetic energy, David substitutes one equation into the other and solves for the final velocities.

Class 11 Physics (India)

Let's learn, practice, and master topics of class 11 physics (NCERT) starting with kinematics and then moving to dynamics with Newton's laws of motion, work, energy, and power. Let's then use these as the foundation to learn about centre of mass, rotational motion, gravitation, solids, fluids, thermodynamics, and oscillations and waves.

Elastic and inelastic collisions

Categorizing the different types of collisions can be useful. Here, you'll learn what it means for a collision to be elastic or inelastic and what that implies mathematically.
