Question

We have two spheres (m and M) that are separated by a small distance; m is to the left of M. A sphere of mass m (identical to one of the two initial spheres) is moving towards m at a speed V0. Show that when M is smaller than or equal to m, there will be 2 collisions and calculate the final speeds. Show that when M is larger than m, there will be three collisions and calculate the final velocities.
