Ball $A$ moving at $12 \ m/s$ collides elastically with ball $B$ at rest as shown in the figure. If both balls have the same mass,what is the final velocity of ball $A$ after the collision (in $m/s$)? (Assume the collision is two-dimensional and the angle of incidence is $60^\circ$ with the vertical axis).

$A$ ball of mass $m$ moving with speed $v$ collides elastically with an identical stationary ball which is initially at rest. After collision,the first ball moves at an angle $\theta$ to its initial direction and has speed $(v/3)$. The second ball moves in a straight line after the collision. Then,the speed of the second ball after the collision is:
