a

Velocity of ball A after collision is 5 ms-1

b

Both the balls move at right angles after collision.

c

Kinetic energy will not be conserved here, because collision is not head on.

d

Velocity of ball B after collision is 53ms1

Question Image

Velocity components in common tangent direction will remain unchanged while velocity components in common normal direction are interchanged in case of an elastic collision. Hence, both A and B move at right angles after collision with vA=5ms1 and vB=53ms1. Kinetic energy is conserved in an elastic collision, whether it is a head on or an oblique collision.
