Surprisingly, a one-dimensional, perfectly elastic collision isn't such a simple problem to solve. But don't worry, I did it for you and covered all the details.

If it's a real Newton's cradle with perfectly elastic collisions, then the kinetic energy of the launched ball should be equal to the total kinetic energy of all the stuff moving after the impact.

CBSE Class 11: Work, Energy & Power - Perfectly Elastic Collision. In this video we will learn about the perfectly elastic collision. ByJagran Josh. May 19, 2015, 16:37 IST.

A super-elastic collision is an unusual process in which some mechanism causes the kinetic energy of the system to increase. Most studies have focused on solid-like objects, and have rarely ...
