As shown below, Ball 1 (mass m₁ = 3m2 ) and Ball 2 ( mass m ) are held at rest on inclines of height h and m2 respectively. Both balls are released at the same time, h 2' then collide elastically in the middle of the track. For each ball: what is its velocity immediately after the collision, and what is the maximum (vertical) height that it reaches afterward? Note: picture not to scale
