The mass of A is 3m and the mass of B is 4m. The spheres are moving on a smooth horizontal plane when they collide obliquely. Immediately before they collide, A is moving with speed 3u at 30° to the line of centres of the spheres and B is moving with speed 2u at 30° to the line of centres of the spheres. The direction of motion of B is turned through an angle of 90° by the collision, as shown in Figure 3. (i) Find the size of the angle through which the direction of motion of A is turned as a result of the collision. (ii) Find, in terms of m and u, the magnitude of the impulse received by B in the collision.
