Two spheres approach each other along the same straight line. Their speeds are u1 and u2 before collision, and v1 and v2 after collision, in the directions shown below
Which equation is correct if the collision is perfectly elastic?
u1 – u2 = v2 + v1
u1 – u2 = v2 – v1
u1 + u2 = v2 – v1
u1 + u2 = v2 + v1
