Expert Solution
Formula

In collision, 

There will be a momentum transfer happening.

As this is an elastic collision, there will be a transfer of momentum and the energy will be conserved.

So initial momentum ( Pi ) = m * u

where u is the initial velocity

and final momentum ( Pf ) = M * v

and v is the final velocity

( Pi ) = ( Pf )
