RANDOM SCIENCE QUESTION: Two small particles of equal masses start moving in opposite directions from a point A in a horizontal circular orbit. Their tangential velocities are v and 2v respectively. Between collisions, the particles move with constant speeds. After making how many elastic collisions, other than that at A, these two particles will again reach the point A?
I win.

Of course you should listen to me. Have I ever lied to you before? I mean, in this topic.
