If e is the coefficient of restitution, ...

If e is the coefficient of restitution, then which one of the following condition represents a perfectly elastic collision?

A

`e=0`

B

`e=0.5`

C

`e=1`

D

`e=0.75`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
If the two bodies exchange their velocities after a perfectly elastic collision, then the two bodies must have equal masses.
`m_a =m_b ` or `(m_(a))/(m_(b))=1 `
