My working out is abit long so please bare with me as i have tried this multiple times and still failed:

i was told to always find the momentum and coefficient of restitution for these questions then do simultaneous equations

momentum: mua+mub=mva+mvb

2(0.3)+3(0.2)=(0.3)va+(0.2)va

0.3va+0.2vb=0.5

coefficient of restitution:

0.8=vbva32

va+vb=0.8

simultaneous:

0.5vb = 0.74

vb = 1.48 va = 0.68

However the markscheme says my answer should be VA=-0.6 VB=3.4

NVM i used 2 for ub in my e equation instead of -2 in all 4 of my attempts..
