A ball of mass 1 kg moving with speed of 10 m/s on a smooth horizontal plane collides obliquely with another ball of same mass at rest as shown in the figure. If coefficient of restitution for the collision is 0.5, What will be the speed of the striking ball after the collision.

Before collision
(V1)x = 10 cos 60° = 5 ms–1 ; (V1)y = 10 sin 60° = ms–1
After collision
(V2)x = V0(say) ; (V2)y = 0
conservation of in x-direction will give
1 × 5 = 1 × V0 + 1 × V1
V0 + V1 = 5 ......(1)
Writting e-equation
.....(2)
∴ Speed of ball 1 after collision
