Let a be the acceleration produced in the body. after collision is
Using equation of kinematics v2 – u2 =2as, we (𝑚1− 𝑚2) 𝑢1 +2𝑚2 𝑢2

get v2= 2ax. Now, the work done by force is, W

Points to Remember
 Points to be Noticed for elastic collision:-

(i) The maximum transfer energy occurs if m1= m2

(ii) If Ki is the initial kinetic energy and Kf is the final kinetic energy of
mass m1, the fractional decrease in kinetic energy is given by,
Ki – Kf / Ki = 1- v12/u21
Further, if m2 = nm1 and u2 = 0, then,
Ki – Kf / Ki = 4n/(1+n)2
 Conservation Equation:

(i) Momentum – m1u1+m2u2 = m1v1+m2v2

(ii) Energy – ½ m1u12+ ½ m2u22 = ½ m1v12+ ½ m2v22
 Conservative force (F):- Conservative force is equal to the negative

gradient of potential V of the field of that force. This force is also called
central force.
So, F = - (dV/dr)
 The line integral of a conservative force around a closed path is always
zero.
So,
