3 Two smooth circular discs \(A\) and \(B\) are moving on a horizontal plane. The masses of \(A\) and \(B\) are 3 kg and 4 kg respectively. At the instant before they collide
- the velocity of \(A\) is \(2 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) at an angle of \(60 ^ { \circ }\) to the line joining their centres,
- the velocity of \(B\) is \(5 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) towards \(A\) along the line joining their centres (see Fig. 3).

Given that the velocity of \(A\) after the collision is perpendicular to the velocity of \(A\) before the collision, find
- the coefficient of restitution between \(A\) and \(B\),
- the total loss of kinetic energy as a result of the collision.
