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.
