A 1 kg ball is lying still on the ground.
We use a 10 kg ball with velocity 1 m/s to collide elastically
with the 1 kg ball.
Since the heavy ball travels at speed 1 m/s, the max speed the
light ball can attain is 1 m/s ?

Alas, the small ball will move at velocity 1.8 m/s, and the max
speed it could attain when the large ball would go faster and
faster, is just under 2 m/s.

So you now you *fail* to "understand why Partical Accelerators
which uses electro magnetic waves can never have a partical
travel at speed c".
