In an elastic collision of two particles with masses m1 and m2, the initial velocities are u1

Question:

In an elastic collision of two particles with masses m1 and m2, the initial velocities are u1 and u2 = au1. If the initial kinetic energies of the two particles are equal, find the conditions on u1/u2 and m1/m2 such that m1 is at rest after the collision. Examine both cases for the sign of a.
