Its wrong, only V2 has velocity of V after impact.

After striking the velocity of the two bodies will be reduces why because assume both the two bodies are rotate in CW direction when second body front side touches the first body back side due to same direction speed will be reduces.

Law of conservation of momentum.

Law of conservation of momentum.

When one ball hits second then the first ill stop & its momentum is transfer to other with the half of the velocity of first ball.

That's why answer = V/2.

Initial velocity = v.

Given condition that both balls are moving.

Hence v/2.

For two perfectly elastic body, the velocity after collided become same i.e. velocity 1st ball after collide equal to velocity of 2nd ball after collide.

So final velocity of the ball half of the initial velocity. It will get from the equation of conservation of momentum after and before.

According to question balls is perfectly elastic material then the total energy of first ball is transfer to second ball after collision then first ball energy less it means no energy no movement then the velocity of first ball is 0 and second ball is travel of velocity v.

The total energy of momentum of force is directly impact v = 1/v, it is impact force.

mv1_+mv2 = mv'1+mv'2.

m is equal.

v1+0 = 2v' because v1 = 0 and v'1 = v'2.

v' = v/2.

Velocity after striking will be v/2.
Because it is a perfectly elastic body so after striking both are will move in an opp direction so by applying momentum equation.

Total momentum before striking = Total momentum After strike.

m(v1i+v2i) = m(v1f+v2f).
@ first V2i = 0.

mV = m(v1+V2) Perfectly elastic so V1f=V2F.
V=2Vf.
V(final)=V/2.
