11 Two small uniform smooth spheres A and B , of equal radius, have masses 4 kg and 3 kg respectively. The spheres are placed in a smooth horizontal circular groove. The coefficient of restitution between the spheres is \(e\), where \(e > \frac { 2 } { 5 }\). At a given instant B is at rest and A is set moving along the groove with speed \(V \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\). It may be assumed that in the subsequent motion the two spheres do not leave the groove.

1. Determine, in terms of \(e\) and \(V\), the speeds of A and B immediately after the first collision.
2. Show that the arc through which A moves between the first and second collisions subtends an angle at the centre of the circular groove of $$\frac { 2 \pi ( 4 - 3 e ) } { 7 e } \text { radians. }$$
3. 1. Determine, in terms of \(e\) and \(V\), the speed of B immediately after the second collision.
   2. What can be said about the motion of A and B if the collisions between A and B are perfectly elastic?
