Two manned satellites approaching one another at a relative speed of 0.500 m/s i

Question

Two manned satellites approaching one another at a relative speed of 0.500 m/s intend to dock. The first has a mass of 2.00 ? 103 kg, and the second a mass of 7.50 ? 103 kg. If the two satellites collide elastically rather than dock, what is their final relative velocity? Adopt the reference frame in which the second satellite is initially at rest and assume that the positive direction is directed from the second satellite towards the first satellite.
___ m/s

A walkthrough (listing of equations used) would be nice although it is not required.

Explanation / Answer

Vf =0.5 m/s

in case of elesatic collisions ,coefficent of restitution is unity
