To solve the problem, we need to analyze the collision between two spheres, one of mass \( m \) and the other of mass \( M \), where the mass \( m \) is moving and the mass \( M \) is at rest. We are given that \( m = eM \), where \( e \) is the coefficient of restitution. We need to show that the directions of motion of the spheres after the impact are at right angles. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Collision:** - Let the mass \( m \) be moving with an initial velocity \( \vec{V}_m \) towards the stationary mass \( M \). - The collision occurs along the line of impact. We can define the direction of the incoming mass \( m \) as the x-axis and the direction perpendicular to it as the y-axis. ...
