Question
A sphere of mass 'm' moving with a constant velocity 'u' hits another stationary sphere of the same mass. If 'e' is the coefficient of restitution, then the ratio of the velocity of two spheres after collision will be
Options:
A .  1−e1+e
B .  1+e1−e
C .  e+1e−1
D .  e+1e−1t2
Answer: Option A
:
A
Let the final velocities of the two masses be v1 and v2 By definition,e=v2v104
Conservation of linear momentum,m(u)+0=mv1+mv2
v1+v2=4
v1+v2v2v1=4e4
v1+v2v1v2=1e
v1v2=1+e1e
v2v1=1e1+e
