The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the collision between two bodies and apply the principles of conservation of momentum and the coefficient of restitution. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Initial Conditions**: - Let the mass of the moving body be \( m_1 \) and its initial velocity be \( u \). - Let the mass of the body at rest be \( m_2 \) and its initial velocity be \( 0 \). 2. **Apply Conservation of Momentum**: - According to the law of conservation of momentum, the total momentum before the collision must equal the total momentum after the collision. - The initial momentum is given by: \[ \text{Initial Momentum} = m_1 \cdot u + m_2 \cdot 0 = m_1 \cdot u \] - After the collision, the moving body comes to rest, so its final momentum is \( 0 \), and the body at rest starts moving with velocity \( v \). - The final momentum is given by: \[ \text{Final Momentum} = m_1 \cdot 0 + m_2 \cdot v = m_2 \cdot v \] - Setting the initial momentum equal to the final momentum: \[ m_1 \cdot u = m_2 \cdot v \] 3. **Rearranging the Equation**: - From the equation \( m_1 \cdot u = m_2 \cdot v \), we can express the ratio of masses: \[ \frac{m_1}{m_2} = \frac{v}{u} \] 4. **Consider the Coefficient of Restitution**: - The coefficient of restitution \( e \) is defined as the ratio of the relative velocity of separation to the relative velocity of approach. - Since the moving body comes to rest, the relative velocity of separation is \( v - 0 = v \) and the relative velocity of approach is \( u - 0 = u \). - Thus, we have: \[ e = \frac{v}{u} \] - The coefficient of restitution must satisfy the condition \( 0 \leq e \leq 1 \). 5. **Combine the Results**: - Since \( e = \frac{v}{u} \) and \( \frac{m_1}{m_2} = \frac{v}{u} \), we can conclude: \[ \frac{m_1}{m_2} \leq 1 \] - This means that the mass of the moving body \( m_1 \) must be less than or equal to the mass of the body at rest \( m_2 \). 6. **Evaluate the Options**: - Based on our findings, we can conclude that: - \( m_1 \leq m_2 \) - The coefficient of restitution \( e \) is less than or equal to 1. - Therefore, the possible options that satisfy these conditions are options A, C, and D. ### Final Conclusion: - The possible options are A, C, and D.

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the collision between two bodies and apply the principles of conservation of momentum and the coefficient of restitution. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Initial Conditions**: - Let the mass of the moving body be \( m_1 \) and its initial velocity be \( u \). - Let the mass of the body at rest be \( m_2 \) and its initial velocity be \( 0 \). ...
