Immediately before the collision \(A\) is moving with speed \(2.8 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) along the line of centres, and \(B\) is moving with speed \(1 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) at an angle \(\theta\) to the line of centres, where \(\cos \theta = 0.8\) (see diagram). Immediately after the collision \(A\) is stationary. Find
  1. the coefficient of restitution between \(A\) and \(B\),
  2. the angle turned through by the direction of motion of \(B\) as a result of the collision. \section*{\(\mathrm { OCR } ^ { \text {勾 } }\)}
