  • with all respect, you have explained nothing in this video, I see no math, nothing !!!!!! it would be great if you explain the elastic collision in 3D for example. thank you.

  • @ramiBudemaris Im sorry this isn't what your looking for. This is just suppose to be conceptual.

  • What if they are going the same direction, but one catches up with the other and they collide?

  • @nusaik They will still just trade velocity's, for example if ball A is going (14,0,0) m/s and ball B is going (1,0,0) m/s , and they are going the same direction. and they hit each other, as long as they are the same mass. they will just trade velocity's. So ball A will have velocity (1,0,0) m/s and ball B will have velocity (14,0,0) m/s. Try it with pool balls to test it out, as an experiment. =)

  • you are pronouncing as 7 meter per second square which is indicating acceleration

  • this is nice and all but it would be great if you can do a video about elastic collisions with different masses.

  • @strawburryswirl Sure just give me a couple of days my computer is broken and it is suppose to be fixed by tomorrow. Just out of curiosity, what what would you need a proof for?
