### Collision Problem Involving Two Spheres

Consider a collision scenario where a 0.500 kg sphere moves with a velocity of \((2.00\hat{i} - 3.40\hat{j} + 1.00\hat{k})\) m/s and collides with another sphere of mass 1.50 kg. This second sphere is initially moving with a velocity of \((-1.00\hat{i} + 2.00\hat{j} - 3.10\hat{k})\) m/s.

#### (a) Calculate the Final Velocity of the 1.50 kg Sphere

After the collision, the velocity of the 0.500 kg sphere is given as \((-0.60\hat{i} + 3.00\hat{j} - 8.00\hat{k})\) m/s. Your task is to find the final velocity of the 1.50 kg sphere.

\[ \vec{v} = \_\_\_\_ \]

Identify the type of collision:

- ○ Elastic
- ○ Inelastic
- ○ Perfectly Inelastic

#### (b) Altered Scenario: New Velocity for 0.500 kg Sphere

Now, if the velocity of the 0.500 kg sphere after the collision is \((-0.250\hat{i} + 0.650\hat{j} - 2.08\hat{k})\) m/s, determine the final velocity of the 1.50 kg sphere.

\[ \vec{v} = \_\_\_\_ \]

Identify the type of collision:

- ○ Elastic
- ○ Inelastic
- ○ Perfectly Inelastic

#### (c) Solve for Variable and Velocity in Elastic Collision

Consider the final velocity of the 0.500 kg sphere as \((-1.00\hat{i} + 2.60\hat{j} + a\hat{k})\) m/s and calculate the value of \(a\) for both possible outcomes. Report the velocity of the 1.50 kg sphere for an elastic collision with these values.

**Positive \(a\):**

- \(a = \_\_\_\_\)
- \(v_{2f} = \_\_\_\_\hat{i} + \_\_\_\_\hat{j} + \_\_\_\_\hat{k}\) m/s

**Negative \(a
