The rods are moving twards each other in a velocity v1, and v2.
Assuming it will be a elastic collision, after it, how would I determine the velocity of the mass center of both bodies, and how would I determine the angular velocity of both bodies?

Please clarify your specific problem or provide additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking. – Community Jan 05 '23 at 18:23

In addition to linear momentum and kinetic energy being conserved (for an elastic collision) for the two-rod system, angular momentum of the two-rod system is also conserved since there are no external torques. There is insufficient information to do the evaluation; for example, what is the distance of overlap of the rods at impact? – John Darby Jan 05 '23 at 21:53

Also read about the general 3D collision problem. – John Alexiou Jan 29 '23 at 02:13
