Two massless strings of length $5\, m$ hang from the ceiling very near to each other as shown in the figure. Two balls $A$ and $B$ of masses $0.25\, kg$ and $0.5\, kg$ are attached to the strings. The ball $A$ is released from rest at a height of $0.45\, m$ as shown in the figure. The collision between the two balls is completely elastic. Immediately after the collision,the kinetic energy of ball $B$ is $1\, J$. The velocity of ball $A$ just after the collision is
