Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(-56,-8\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \begin{aligned} & v_1^{\prime}= {\left[\frac{m_1-e m_2}{m_1+m_2}\right] v_1-\left[\frac{(1+e) m_2}{m_1+m_2}\right] v_2 } \\ &=\left[\frac{2-\left(\frac{2}{3}\right) 4}{2+4}\right] 24-\left[\frac{\left(1+\frac{2}{3}\right) 4}{2+4}\right] 48 \\ &=-56 \mathrm{~m}…
