Question: Spherical particle 1 has a velocity (v_{1}=6 mathrm{~m} / mathrm{s}) in the direction shown and collides with spherical particle 2 of equal mass and diameter

Spherical particle 1 has a velocity \(v_{1}=6 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) in the direction shown and collides with spherical particle 2 of equal mass and diameter and initially at rest. If the coefficient of restitution for these conditions is \(e=0.6\), determine the resulting motion of each particle following impact. Also calculate the percentage loss of energy due to the impact.
