momentum = force/second
OR momentum=mV-mU
Hence it becomes=MV-m(-u) which is equal to mv+mu
for question two seperation = 2 times the radius and the rest work out yourself
NOTE: Momentum is made for velocity in same direction but if an object bounce back off the final velocity becomes negative so they add up. You can take any direction as a reference point: either U or V since momentum is generally not in negative form!
