7. Two smooth uniform spheres \(A\) and \(B\), of mass 2 kg and 3 kg respectively, and of equal radius, are moving on a smooth horizontal plane when they collide. Immediately before the collision the velocity of \(A\) is \(( 3 \mathbf { i } + \mathbf { j } ) \mathrm { m } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 1 }\) and the velocity of \(B\) is \(( - \mathbf { i } + 2 \mathbf { j } ) \mathrm { m } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 1 }\). Immediately after the collision the velocity of \(A\) is \(( \mathbf { i } + 3 \mathbf { j } ) \mathrm { m } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 1 }\).

1. Show that, at the instant when \(A\) and \(B\) collide, their line of centres is parallel to \(- \mathbf { i } + \mathbf { j }\).
2. Find the velocity of \(B\) immediately after the collision.
3. Find the coefficient of restitution between \(A\) and \(B\).
