A ball of mass 10 kg moving with a velocity 103 m s-1 along the x -axis, hits another ball of mass 20 kg which is at rest. After the collision, first ball comes to rest while the second ball disintegrates into two equal pieces. One piece starts moving along y -axis with a speed of 10 m s-1. The second piece starts moving at an angle of 30° with respect to the x -axis.
