Detailed Solution

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=5ms−1 and vB=53ms−1. Kinetic energy is conserved in an elastic collision, whether it is a head on or an oblique collision.
