Question: Consider a partially elastic collision in which ball ( A ) of mass ( m ) with initial velocity (

Consider a partially elastic collision in which ball \( A \) of mass \( m \) with initial velocity \( v \) collides with stationary ball B , also of mass \( m \), and in which \(\frac{1}{4}\) of the mechanical energy is dissipated as thermal energy.
Find expression for the final velocitiy of ball A .
Hint: Mathematically there are two solutions; however, one of them is physically impossible.
Express your answer in terms of the variable \( v \).
\[
\left(v_{\mathrm{f} x}\right)_{\mathrm{A}}=[
