they collide. After the collision, the car moves with a velocity of 15km/h to the right
relative to the truck. Determine the coefficient of restitution between the truck and car and
the loss of energy due to the collision.

Ball A has a mass of 3 kg and is moving with a velocity of 8 m/s when it makes a direct
collision with ball B, which has a mass of 2 kg and is moving with a velocity of 4 m/s. If e
= 0.7, determine the velocity of each ball just after the collision. Neglect the size of the
balls.
