Types of collision
Question

Two particles of masses m1 and m2 move with initial velocities u1 and u2. On collision, one of the particles get excited to higher level, after absorbing energy ε. If final velocities of particles be v1 and v2, then we must have [CBSE AIPMT 2015]

Easy
Solution

Total initial energy =12m1u12+12m2u22

Since, after collision one particle absorbs energy ε.

   Total final energy =12m1v12+12m2v22+ε

From conservation of energy,

           12m1u12+12m2u22=12m1v12+12m2v22+ε

  12m1u12+12m2u22-ε=12m1v12+12m2v22
