Question

A metal sphere of mass m1 is moving to the right at a speed v1 and collides perfectly

elastically with a sphere of mass m2 also moving to the right, but at a speed of only

v2 =

v1

4

. The relation between these two masses is m2=2m1.

What are the final velocities of the spheres after the collision provided we neglect rolling

motion? Start by drawing a diagram representing the initial and final outcome of the

collision. Make sure to first write down the conservation laws appropriate for this

problem.

Explanation / Answer

Dude Plz specify the correct relation between the velocities .

Apply law of conservation of momentum before and after collison
