Two trucks of mass M each are moving in ...

Two trucks of mass `M` each are moving in opposite direction on adjacent parallel tracks with same velocity `u`. One is carrying potatoes and other is carrying onions, a bag of potatoes has a mass `m_(1)` and a bag of onions has a mass `m_(2)` (included i the mass of truck `M`). When trucks get close to each other while passing the drivers exchange a bag with the other one by throwing the other one. Find the final velocities of the trucks after exchange of the bags.
