Chapter , Problem 91(choose chapter or problem)
In the center-of-mass reference frame, a particle with mass and momentum makes an elastic head-on collision with a second particle of mass and momentum After the collision the first particles momentum is Write the total kinetic initial energy in terms of and and the total final energy in terms of and and show that If the particle is merely turned around by the collision and leaves with the speed it had initially. What is the situation for the solution?
