Between a steel ball and a glass ball, there is a straight, central, fully elastic collision. The glass ball is ahead of the heist
at rest and after the impact, it has a speed of 9.0 m/s. Calculate the speeds of the steel ball before and after the shock, if
the mass of the steel ball is three times the mass of the glass ball.

Answer 6.0m/s and 3.0m/s

Two particles, of mass m and mass nm, undergo a head-on, fully elastic collision. (Here n is just a unitless number.) Before colliding the particles approach one another with equal speed v. Snapshots of the particles before, during, and after the collision are shown above. After the collision the first particle moves away with speed 2.95v in the exact opposite direction, and the velocity of the second particle is unknown. What is the value of n?
