To solve the problem, we will use the principles of conservation of momentum and the properties of elastic collisions. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Information:** - Mass of the first body, \( m_1 = 2 \, \text{kg} \) - Initial velocity of the first body, \( u_1 = u \) (unknown) - Final velocity of the first body after collision, \( v_1 = \frac{u}{4} \) ...
