Question: ( 5 ) A hard ball A with velocity V A = 6 m s has a direct collision with ball B , which is

(5) A hard ball A with velocity VA=6ms has a direct collision with ball B, which is at rest. The collision has a coefficient of restitution e=0.8. Once the two balls collide, Ball B continues moving until it strikes a padded wall and rebounds. The wall collision has coeff. of restitution e=0.6. Determine the velocity of B after it rebounds from the wall.
Both balls have mass m=0.4kg.
Hint: You need to break this problem up in to two collisions.
The first is when A strikes B. solve for VA2,VB2
Next look at the collision where B hits the wall (note this is oblique).
solve for VB3 and
You will need to solve a system of two eqns. two unknowns for each collision.
