A ball
of mass
is at the top of a frictionless shute at
height
above the ground and another ball
of mass
is at
rest on the horizontal surface at the end of the shute at height
above the ground. Ball
starts to slide from rest down the shute
and hits ball
which is projected, after the impact, off the end
of the shute. If the coefficient of restitution between the balls is
, how far does ball B go horizontally before it hits the
ground?
