5. Two small balls \(A\) and \(B\) have masses 0.6 kg and 0.2 kg respectively. They are moving towards each other in opposite directions on a horizontal table when they collide directly. Immediately before the collision, the speed of \(A\) is \(4.5 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) and the speed of \(B\) is \(3 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\). Immediately after the collision, \(A\) and \(B\) move in the same direction and the speed of \(B\) is twice the speed of \(A\).
By modelling the balls as particles, find
- the speed of \(B\) immediately after the collision,
- the magnitude of the impulse exerted on \(B\) in the collision, stating the units in which your answer is given.
The table is rough. After the collision, \(B\) moves a distance of 2 m on the table before coming to rest.
- Find the coefficient of friction between \(B\) and the table.
