Detailed Solution

Collision is elastic. Therefore, kinetic energy will be conserved. Let v be the speed of ball after collision. Then

121102=12442+121v2 or  v=6 m/s

Let J be the impulse between the two during collision. Applying impulse = Change in linear momentum 

J sin 30°=(4) (4) or   J=32 N-S
