A 2-kg block collides with an 8-kg block. Using the physical laws of conservation of energy and conservation of momentum, along with given conditions, the following equations involving the velocities are established:

v + 4v = 41 2v + 8v = 12


Find these velocities (in m/s) if v2 > 0.  

v + 4v = 41 2v + 8v = 12
