B R S T Figure 5 Figure 5 represents the plan view of part of a smooth horizontal floor, where RS and ST are smooth fixed vertical walls. The vector RS → is in the direction of i and the vector ST → is in the direction of (2i + j). A small ball B is projected across the floor towards RS. Immediately before the impact with RS, the velocity of B is (6i – 8j) m s–1. The ball bounces off RS and then hits ST. The ball is modelled as a particle. Given that the coefficient of restitution between B and RS is e, (a) find the full range of possible values of e. (3) It is now given that e = 1 4 and that the coefficient of restitution between B and ST is 1 2 (b) Find, in terms of i and j, the velocity of B immediately after its impact with ST.
