2-17. Two smooth disks A and B of 5 kg and 8 kg, respectively, collide with initial velocities  and .  If the coefficient of restitution for the disks is , determine the  component of the final velocity of each disk just after collision.

 

Solution:

Resolving the initial velocities into  and  components,

Conservation of  momentum       

Coefficient of Restitution  

Thus,

 

                                                                             

 

 

Thus, we have

 

 

 

 

 

Therefore,  and .                          Ans.
