An Alternate Approach to Solving 2-Dimensional Elastic Collisions

Neil Parker
Introduction This article follows on from the previous on an alternate approach to solving collision problems. In that article, we determined the equal and opposite collision impulse to have magnitude ##\mu \Delta v## for perfectly inelastic collisions, ##\mu(1+e) \Delta v## for semi-elastic collisions, and ##2\mu \Delta v## for elastic collisions which will be the focus...
