(N/A) An oblique collision is a type of collision where the velocities of the colliding bodies are not directed along the line of impact (the common normal at the point of contact).
In a two-dimensional oblique collision between two bodies of equal masses,where one body is initially at rest,the two bodies move at an angle of $90^{\circ}$ (perpendicularly) relative to each other after the collision,provided the collision is perfectly elastic.

In a smooth stationary cart of length $d$,a small block is projected along its length with velocity $v$ towards the front. The coefficient of restitution for each collision is $e$. The cart rests on a smooth ground and can move freely. The time taken by the block to come to rest with respect to the cart is:
