A collision in which there is absolutely no loss of \({K}.{E}.\) is called an elastic collision. In such a collision, the linear momentum , total energy and kinetic energy, all are conserved.The coefficient of restitution \(/\) resilience of perfectly elastic collisions is unity.
Read the above passage and answer the following questions \(:\)
(i) When two bodies of equal masses undergo perfectly elastic collision in one dimension, what happens to their velocities ?
(ii) How is this fact applied in a nuclear reactor ?
