Answer:
In an elastic collision:
- There is no external net force acting. Thus, Momentum before and after collision is equal. Momentum remains conserved.
- Total energy always remains conserved as energy cannot be created nor destroyed. It can change from one form to another.
- There is no lost due to friction in elastic collision. So the kinetic energy is also conserved.
- Velocities may change after collision. If the masses are equal, the velocities interchange.
When one object is stationary:
Final velocity of object 1:
v₁ = (m₁ - m₂)u₁/(m₁ +m₂)
Final velocity of object 2:
v₂ = (2 m₁ u₁)/(m₁+m₂) =
- Objects do not stick together in elastic collision. They stick together in inelastic collision.
- One object may be stationary before the elastic collision.
Thus, conditions for an elastic collision:
- Energy is conserved.
- Velocities may change.
- Momentum is conserved.
- Kinetic energy is conserved.
- One object may be stationary before the elastic collision.

It would take about 4.8 years to travel from earth to Saturn.
<h3>How long would it take?</h3>
We know that speed is expressed as the ratio of distance to time. In this case, we are trying to know ow many years would it take to reach the planet Saturn travelling at 21 thousand miles per hour.
Given that;
Speed = 21 thousand miles per hour
time taken = ???
Distance = 887 million miles
Speed = distance/time
speed * time = distance
time = distance/speed
time = 8.87 * 10^8 miles/2.1 * 10^4 miles per hour
time = 4.22 * 10^4 hours
If 8.766 * 10^3 hours make 1 year
4.22 * 10^4 hours make 4.22 * 10^4 hours * 1 year/8.766 * 10^3
= 4.8 years
