$A$ spherical ball $A$ of mass $4 \ kg$, moving along a straight line, strikes another spherical ball $B$ of mass $1 \ kg$ at rest. After the collision, $A$ and $B$ move with velocities $v_1 \ ms^{-1}$ and $v_2 \ ms^{-1}$ respectively, making angles of $30^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$ with respect to the original direction of motion of $A$. The ratio $\frac{v_1}{v_2}$ will be

Ball $P$ of mass $m$ moving with velocity $v$ collides with another ball $Q$ of mass $2m$, which is at rest. If $v_P$ and $v_Q$ are the final velocities of $P$ and $Q$ respectively after the collision, then (Assume the coefficient of restitution is $e = 1/3$):
