The particles in the figure below (m₁ = 2.2 kg and m₂ = 3.5 kg) undergo an elastic collision in one dimension. Their velocities before the collision are V₁¡ = 12 m/s and v₂i = -7.5 m/s. Find the velocities of the two particles after the collision. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) V₁f= V2f= m/s m/s

A ball of mass 250 g is thrown with an initial velocity of 25 m/s at an angle of 30 with the horizontal direction. Ignore air resistance. What is the momentum of the ball after 0.2 s? (Do this problem by finding the components of the momentum first, and then constructing the magnitude and direction of the momentum vector from the components.)
Initially, ball 1 rests on an incline of height h, and ball 2 rests on an incline of height h/2 as shown in Figure P11.40. They are released from rest simultaneously and collide in the trough of the track. If m2 = 4 m1 and the collision is elastic, find an expression for the velocity of each ball immediately after the collision. FIGURE P11.40 Problems 40 and 41.
