TopicMomentum and Collisions 1

2 Two smooth spheres \(A\) and \(B\), of equal radius and of masses 0.2 kg and 0.1 kg respectively, are free to move on a smooth horizontal table. \(A\) is moving with speed \(4 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) when it collides directly with \(B\), which is stationary. The collision is perfectly elastic. Calculate the speed of \(A\) after the impact. [4]
