Step 1: Define initial conditions and set up equations for conservation of momentum and coefficient of restitution.
Let the direction of particle A's initial motion be positive.
- Mass of particle A:
- Mass of particle B:
- Initial velocity of particle A:
- Initial velocity of particle B: (since it's moving towards A)
- Final velocity of particle A:
- Final velocity of particle B:
- Coefficient of restitution: $e
