6. Two particles, \(A\) and \(B\), are moving in opposite directions along the same straight line on a smooth horizontal surface when they collide directly.
The mass of \(A\) is \(2 m\) and the mass of \(B\) is \(3 m\).
Immediately after the collision, \(A\) and \(B\) are moving in opposite directions with the same speed \(v\).
In the collision, \(A\) receives an impulse of magnitude \(5 m v\).
- Find the coefficient of restitution between \(A\) and \(B\).
(6)
After the collision with \(A\), particle \(B\) strikes a smooth fixed vertical wall and rebounds. The wall is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the particles.
The coefficient of restitution between \(B\) and the wall is \(f\).
As a result of its collision with \(A\) and with the wall, the total kinetic energy lost by \(B\) is \(E\). As a result of its collision with \(B\), the kinetic energy lost by \(A\) is \(2 E\). - Find the value of \(f\).
