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
