Two balls each of which has a mass of 25 g but of different color are on a flat floor. Color of one of the bodied is blue and the other is red. The red mass is motionless, the blue mass is moving with velocity 4.5 m/s to the left and collide with the motionless red mass. After the collision the red mass is moving with velocity 4.5 m/s to the left. What is the final velocity of the blue mass?
