$A$ smooth sphere moves on a horizontal surface with a velocity vector $2\hat{i} + 2\hat{j}$ before it strikes a vertical wall. The wall is parallel to the $\hat{j}$ vector,and the coefficient of restitution between the sphere and the wall is $e = 1/2$. What will be the velocity vector of the sphere after it strikes the wall?

Two identical balls $A$ and $B$ of equal mass $m$ are lying on a smooth surface as shown in the figure. If ball $A$ hits ball $B$ at rest with a velocity $16 \,ms^{-1}$,then the coefficient of restitution $e$ between $A$ and $B$ so that $B$ just reaches the highest point of the smooth inclined plane of height $5 \,m$ is $\left(g=10 \,ms^{-2}\right)$

$A$ ball moving with a velocity of $6\, m/s$ strikes an identical stationary ball. After collision,each ball moves at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the original line of motion. What are the speeds of the balls after the collision?

$A$ ball kept at $20 \,m$ height falls freely in a downward direction vertically and hits the ground. The coefficient of restitution is $0.4$. After the first rebound, the upward velocity is $[g = 10 \,m/s^2]$. (in $\,m/s$)
