Answer #1

Given that both balls have equal mass

During collision momentum is conserved

Initial momentum =final momentum

----------------(1)

=====================

Collision is perfectly elastic

so kinetic energy is conserved

Initial kinetic energy =final kinetic energy

Put (1) in above equation

Solve the quadratic equation using a calculator
