Linear Momentum and its Conservation problem 25


Two solid spheres form an isolated system. Sphere X moves with speed in a straight line directly towards a stationary sphere Y, as shown.




The spheres have a perfectly elastic collision. After the collision, sphere X moves with speed in the same direction as before the collision. What is the speed of sphere Y?
