Solve: A smooth sphere A,of mass 2kg and  moving with speed 6ms^(−1) collides obliquely   with a smooth sphere B of mass 4kg. just before the impact B is  stationary and the velocity of A makes  an angle of 10° with the lines of centers of the two sphere.  The coefficient of restitution between the  spheres is (1/2). Find the magnitude and   directions of the velovities of A and B  immediately after the impact.
