Two objects, of masses m₁ and m₂, travelling in opposite directions collide. Their velocities before collision (u₁ and u₂) and after (v₁ and v₂) are given in Table 3.
Assuming that the Law of Conservation of Momentum applies for this collision: Calculate the ratio of the masses of the two objects, m₁:m₂.
