The steps in collision
Question

Two spheres A and B moving in opposite directions have velocities of 10ms-1 and 20ms-1. The two spheres collide with each other elastically. If A continues to move in the same direction at 4 ms-1, the velocity of sphere B just after the collision is

Moderate
Solution

v2 - v1 =u1 - u2

v2 - 4 =10 +20 ⇒ v2 = 34 m/s
