The figure below illustrates an elastic head-on collision between two balls. Ball 1 has a mass of m1 = 0.255 kg and an initial velocity of 5.19 m/s. Ball 2 has a mass of m2 = 0.805 kg and is initially at rest. No external forces act on the balls.   What is the velocity of the ball 1 after the collision?
