Solution

This is the head on collisionlet u1 = 50 m/su2 = 25 m/sm1 = 10kgm2 = 15 kgv1 and v2 velocities after the collisionm1u1-m2u2 = m1v1+m2v2 law of conservation of momentum12m1u12+12m2u22 = 12m1v12+12m2v22 law ofconservation of KEtherefore10×50 - 15×25 = 10v1+15v210×50×50+15×25×25 =10v12+15v22 on solving these two equation you can easily find out the values of the velocities of twoo bodies.
