After a head-on elastic collision between two balls of equal masses,one is observed to have a speed of $3 \, m/s$ along the positive $x$-axis and the other has a speed of $2 \, m/s$ along the negative $x$-axis. The original velocities of the balls are:

  • A
    $-2 \, m/s$ and $+3 \, m/s$
  • B
    $+2 \, m/s$ and $+3 \, m/s$
  • C
    $-3 \, m/s$ and $+2 \, m/s$
  • D
    $+3 \, m/s$ and $-2 \, m/s$
