Abstract
When two balls collide head-on in an elastic collision, the work done on each ball by the impact force is equal to the change in kinetic energy of each ball. A calculation of the work done during the collision is presented as an interesting extension of the work-energy principle, including an example where one of the balls is infinitely heavy.
