Elastic Collisions: Introduction

Description

This lecture introduces the concept of elastic collisions, focusing on the collision of two homogeneous discs with the same density and no friction on a horizontal table. The lecture covers the initial conditions of the discs, the calculation of mass, velocity components, positions, center of gravity, distance between discs, energy conservation, and velocity changes after collision.
