[In this question, i and j are perpendicular unit vectors in a horizontal plane.] (i + 6j) m s–1 (7i + 2j) m s–1 A B Figure 1 Figure 1 represents the plan view of part of a smooth horizontal floor, where AB represents a fixed smooth vertical wall. A small ball of mass 0.5 kg is moving on the floor when it strikes the wall. Immediately before the impact the velocity of the ball is (7i + 2j) m s–1. Immediately after the impact the velocity of the ball is (i + 6j) m s–1. The coefficient of restitution between the ball and the wall is e. (a) Show that AB is parallel to (2i + 3j). (4) (b) Find the value of e.
