Calculate Collision Speed







Formula

The formula to calculate the collision speed is:

CS=|m1v1+m2v2m1+m2|

Where:

Definition

Example

Let's say the mass of object 1 is 5 kg, its velocity is 3 m/s, the mass of object 2 is 10 kg, and its velocity is -2 m/s. Using the formula:

CS=|(5×3)+(10×2)5+10|=|152015|=|515|=0.33m/s

So, the collision speed is 0.33 m/s.
