Two particles of masses m 1 , m 2 move with initial velocities u 1 and u 2 . On collision, one of the particles get excited to higher level, after absorbing energy ε. If final velocities of particles be v 1 and v 2 then we must have:

Question

Aicharya · Accepted Answer

From conservation of energy initial total energy

E_{i} = \frac{1}{2} m_{1} u_{1}^{2} + \frac{1}{2} m_{2} u_{2}^{2}

After collision total final energy

E_{f} = \frac{1}{2} m_{1} v_{1}^{2} + \frac{1}{2} m_{2} v_{2}^{2} + ε
