Question

Two objects collide head-on (see figure below). The first object is moving with an initial speed of 

v1i = 8.09 m/s

 and the second object is moving with an initial speed of 

v2i = 10.00 m/s.

 Assuming the collision is elastic, 

m1 = 5.06 kg,

 and 

m2 = 6.18 kg,

 determine the final velocity of each object. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer. Positive is to the right, and negative is to the left. Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations)

v1f  =   m/s
v2f  =   m/s
