Elastic Collisions: Derivation

Description

This lecture covers the derivation of elastic collisions, focusing on different types of collisions, calculations in the center-of-mass reference frame, and specific cases like frontal collisions and variable mass systems. The instructor explains the conservation of momentum and kinetic energy, providing detailed calculations for velocities before and after the collision.
