$A$ ball moving with velocity $V$ undergoes a perfectly elastic collision with an identical ball moving in the opposite direction with velocity $2V$. Taking the direction of $V$ as positive,find the velocities of both balls after the collision.

  • A
    $-V$ and $2V$
  • B
    $2V$ and $-V$
  • C
    $V$ and $-2V$
  • D
    $-2V$ and $V$

Consider the following statements $A$ and $B$ and identify the correct answer:
$A$. In an elastic collision,if a body suffers a head-on collision with another of the same mass at rest,then the first body comes to rest while the other starts moving with the velocity of the first one.
$B$. Two bodies of equal mass suffering a head-on elastic collision merely exchange their velocities.

$A$ heavy steel ball of mass greater than $1\, kg$ moving with a speed of $2\, m/s$ collides head-on with a stationary ping-pong ball of mass less than $0.1\, g$. The collision is elastic. After the collision,the ping-pong ball moves approximately with a speed of ......... $m/s$.
