Answer

$v_A=0.16m/s\leftarrow$ $v_B=8.24m/s\rightarrow$

Work Step by Step

We can determine the required velocity as follows: According to the conservation of linear momentum $m_Av_{A_1}+m_Bv_{B_1}=m_Av_{A_2}+m_Bv_{B_2}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $3(8)+(2)(-4)=3v_{A_2}+2v_{B_2}$ This simplifies to: $3v_A+2v_B=16~~~$[eq(1)] We know that: $e=\frac{v_{B_2}-v_{A_2}}{v_{A_1}-v_{B_1}}$ $\implies 0.7=\frac{v_{B_2}-v_{A_2}}{8-(-4)}$ $\implies 8.4=v_{B_2}-v_{A_2}~~~$[eq(2)] After solving eq(1) and eq(2), we obtain: $v_A=0.16m/s\leftarrow$ and $v_B=8.24m/s\rightarrow$
