Texas Gateway: Collisions of Point Masses in Two Dimensions

Curated by ACT

By the end of this section, you will be able to discuss two-dimensional collisions as an extension of one-dimensional analysis, define point masses, derive an expression for conservation of momentum along the x-axis and y-axis, describe elastic collisions of two objects with equal mass, and determine the magnitude and direction of the final velocity given initial velocity and scattering angle.
