Problem

A particle of mass 0.20 kg0.20\,\text{kg} moving along a straight line with speed 5.0 m s−15.0\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-1} collides head-on and perfectly elastically with a particle of mass 0.30 kg0.30\,\text{kg} that is initially at rest on the same line. Calculate the speed and direction of each particle immediately after the collision.
