Detailed Solution

Here m1=2kg,m2=3kg,u1=8ms1,u2=6ms1

According to the law of conservation of linear momentum; m1u1+m2u2=m1v1+m2v2

i.e., (2)(8)+(3)(6)=2v1+3v22v1+3v2=2 ...(i)

Since the collision is elastic, u1u2=v2v1

i.e., 8(6)=v2v1v2v1=14 .......(iii)

On solving the equations (i) and (ii) we get v1=8.8ms1,v2=5.2ms1
