Let two objects with mass m1 and m2. Initial velocity of object 1 = u1, Initial velocity of object 2 = u2 Let v1 and v2 be the final velocities after elasticcollision, respectively. Applying conservation of momentum principle, we get: m1 * u1 + m2 * u2 = m1 * v1 + m2 * v2 Also the principle of kinetic energy conservation couldbe applied: m1 * u1^2 / 2 + m2 * u2^2 / 2 = m1 * v1^2 / 2 + m2 * v2^2/ 2.
