$A$ particle $P$ is sliding down a frictionless hemispherical bowl. It passes the point $A$ at $t = 0$. At this instant of time, the horizontal component of its velocity is $v$. $A$ bead $Q$ of the same mass as $P$ is ejected from $A$ at $t = 0$ along the horizontal string $AB$ (see figure) with the speed $v$. Friction between the bead and the string may be neglected. Let ${t_P}$ and ${t_Q}$ be the respective time taken by $P$ and $Q$ to reach the point $B$. Then

$A$ sphere of mass $m$ travelling at constant speed $v$ strikes another sphere of the same mass. If the coefficient of restitution is $e$,then the ratio of the velocities of both spheres just after the collision is:
