    please help me with this physics problem?

    A 10.0 g object moving to the right at 15.0 cm/s makes an elastic head-on collision with a 15.0 g object moving in the opposite direction at 36.0 cm/s. Find the velocity of each object after the collision.

    10.0 g object=46.35 Your answer is correct. cm/s
    15.0 g object=5.15?? Your answer is incorrect.
    Your response is within 10% of the correct value. This may be due to roundoff error, or you could have a mistake in your calculation. Carry out all intermediate results to at least four-digit accuracy to minimize roundoff error. cm/s
