The mass of ball A is 10 kilograms and the mass of ball B is 5 kilograms. If
the initial velocity is set to 3 meters per second for each ball, what is the
final velocity of ball B if the final velocity of ball A is 2 meters per second?
Use the elastic collision equation to find the final velocity of ball B. Assume
ball A initially moves from right to left and ball B moves in the opposite
direction. Identify each mass, velocity, and unknown. Show your work,
including units, and indicate the direction of ball B in your answer.
