Question: Two small particles of equal masses start moving in opposite directions from a point π΄ in a horizontal circular orbit. Their tangential velocities are π£ and 2π£, respectively, as shown in the figure. Between collisions, the particles move with constant speeds. After making how many elastic collisions, other than that at π΄, these two particles will again reach the point π΄
