1. A sphere of mass m impinges obliquely on a sphere of mass M, which is at rest. The coefficient of restitution between the spheres is e. Show that if m=eM, the directions of motion after impact are at right angles
2. Coefficient of restitution -
3. I really don't think I have a clue with this one, so far I have taken e and substituted it into m=eM to give
m = M x V[tex]_{}2f[/tex]-V[tex]_{}1f[/tex][tex]/[/tex]V[tex]_{}1[/tex]
Can anyone give me any clues as to where to go next or am I going completely wrong with what I have?
Thanks in advance for any help
