Two identical balls A and B having velocities of 0.5 m/s and –0.3 m/s respectively collide elastically in one dimension. The velocities of B and A after the collision respectively will be:
Equal masses in an elastic head-on collision exchange velocities.
Since both bodies are identical and the collision is elastic, the velocities are interchanged after collision.
$v_A = -0.3$ m/s and $v_B = 0.5$ m/s
