$A$ sphere of mass $M$ moving with velocity $u$ undergoes a perfectly elastic collision with a stationary sphere of mass $m$. If their velocities after the collision are $V$ and $v$ respectively,what is the value of $v$?

  • A
    $\frac{2uM}{m}$
  • B
    $\frac{2um}{M}$
  • C
    $\frac{2u}{1 + \frac{m}{M}}$
  • D
    $\frac{2u}{1 + \frac{M}{m}}$
