Using the elastic collision equations show the detailed steps in deriving equation (1)
Using the plastic collision equations show the detailed steps in deriving equation (2)
(1) v'B = (mA / mA + mB + m) * vA
(2) v' = (mA / mA + mB +m) * vA
m is mass attached to mB
use elastic collision equations to algebraically derive equation 1, and use plastic collision equations to algebraically derive equation 2
m is a mass attached to mass B, mass A collides with mass B
