Collisions

Question

A particle experiences a perfectly elastic collision with a stationary particle. Then the ratio of their masses , if after this head on collision the particles by apart in opposite directions with equal velocities  is   1 : X, then  X =

Difficult
Solution

Given u2=0  and V1=V2 

   (m1m2m1+m2)u1=-2m1u1m1+m23m1=m2

   m1m2=13
