Consider a head-on elastic collision of a ‘bullet’ of rest-mass M with a stationary ‘target’ of rest-mass m. Prove that the post-collision γ-factor of the bullet cannot exceed (m2+M2 )/(2Mm). This means that for large bullet energies (with γ-factors much larger than this critical value), the relative transfer of energy from bullet to target is almost total.

1) Consider a head-on collision between two carts of equal mass. One is initially at rest and the other moves toward it with velocity v0. Use conservation of momentum and conservation of kinetic energy (assuming perfectly elastic) to determine the final velocity of each cart after the collision. 2) Draw a position vs time and velocity vs time graph for each ball covering the time span from just before the collision to just after the collision.
