Collision in aspect of energy
Sometimes when colliding objects contact, some part of kinetic energy may be or may not be transformed into other type of energy. i.e. heat or sound.
Meanwhile the total energy is always conserved.

Elastic collision
The collision is elastic if the kinetic energy before collision
is equal to the kinetic energy after collision.

And the total momentum, for an isolated system, is still conserved.
Elastic collision
Before collision:
After collision:
Example
Ball A collides elastically on Ball B with
speed u1.
The masses of A and B is m1 and m2.
Derive the outcome of the collision.
