A spherical ball A of mass 0.5 kg. moving with a speed of 0.5 m/s on a smooth horizontal track collides head-on with another identical ball B at rest. Fin the speed of A and B after collision?

Let this is the elastic collisionu1 = 0.5m/su2 = 0m1 = 0.5kg = m2we know for elastic collision:v1 = (m1-m2)u1m1+m2+2m2u2m1+m2and v2 = (m2-m1)u1m1+m2+2m1u1m1+m2so we getv1 = 0and v2 = u2 = 0.5 m/s
