Problem

Two smooth spheres A and B of masses 0.20 kg0.20\,\text{kg} and 0.30 kg0.30\,\text{kg} move along the same straight line but in opposite directions with speeds 5 m s−15\,\text{m\,s}^{-1} and 2 m s−12\,\text{m\,s}^{-1} respectively. Take the positive direction as that of A’s initial motion. Calculate the velocities of A and B immediately after they collide elastically.
