Abstract :
The formalism to deal with collisions between two rigid bodies of arbitrary shape in two dimensions is described. This formalism is applied to the collision between rigid diatomic molecules. A simulation to show the behavior of a diatomic gas has been developed, and the Principle of Equipartition of Energy is explicitly demonstrated
