$A$ mass $M$ moving with a certain speed $V$ collides elastically with another stationary mass $m$. After the collision,the masses $M$ and $m$ move with speeds $V^{\prime}$ and $v$,respectively. All motion is in one dimension. Then,

  • A
    $V=V^{\prime}+v$
  • B
    $V^{\prime}=V+v$
  • C
    $V^{\prime}=\frac{(V+v)}{2}$
  • D
    $v=V+V^{\prime}$
