Two uniform smooth spheres \(A\) and \(B\), of equal radius, have masses 4 kg and 2 kg respectively. They are moving on a horizontal surface when they collide. Immediately before the collision both spheres have speed \(3 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\). The spheres are moving in opposite directions, each at \(60 ^ { \circ }\) to the line of centres (see diagram). After the collision \(A\) moves in a direction perpendicular to the line of centres.
- Show that the speed of \(B\) is unchanged as a result of the collision, and find the angle that the new direction of motion of \(B\) makes with the line of centres.
- Find the coefficient of restitution between the spheres.
