Find the two possible values for $u$.
Find the greatest possible loss of kinetic energy in the collision.
This 5-mark question has a full step-by-step worked solution and mark scheme. One marking point: “Apply conservation of momentum, for example $0.1\times4u-0.3\times u=0.1\times2+0.3\times4$ or $0.1\times4u-0.3\times u=0.1\times(-2)+0.3\times4$” …
