Two particles of masses ${m_1}$ and ${m_2}$ in projectile motion have velocities ${\vec v_1}$ and ${\vec v_2}$ respectively at time $t = 0$. They collide at time ${t_0}$. Their velocities become ${\vec v_1}'$ and ${\vec v_2}'$ at time $2{t_0}$ while still moving in air. The value of $|({m_1}\overrightarrow {{v_1}} '\, + {m_2}\overrightarrow {{v_2}} ') - ({m_1}\overrightarrow {{v_1}} \, + {m_2}\overrightarrow {{v_2}} )$| is
