i was doing a inclined plane problem with is deal with 2 steel balls' collision~
could somebody help me to derivate that formula?

[tex]a(x-x_0)=\frac{1}{2}(v^2-v_0^2)[/tex]

Solve for [tex]v_0[/tex]
 
ya and what is the angle of the inclined place..
 
I am not sure if you had supplied all given data, and of course, your attempt. :P
