In a head on collision between two identical particles A and B moving on a horizontal surface, B is stationary and A has momentum `P_(0)` before impact. Due to the impact, A recieives an impulse I. Then coefficient of restitution between the two is :

A

`(2I)/P_(0)-1`

B

`(2I)/P_(0)+1`

C

`(I)/P_(0)+1`

D

`(I)/P_(0)-1`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Ans. (1)

Impulse `=DeltaP`
So, For `B`, `I=mv_(2)......(i)`
and For `A`, `-I=mv_(1)-P_(0)....(ii)`
`rArre=(v_(2)-v_(1))/(-(0-v_(0)))=(mv_(2)-mv_(1))/(mv_(0))=(I-(P_(0)-I))/(P_(0))=(2I-P_(0))/(P_(0))`
`e=(2I)/(P_(0))-1`

Two blocks of masses 2kg and M are at rest on an inclined plane and are separated by a distance of 6.0m as shown. The coefficient of friction between each block and the inclined plane is 0.25 . The 2kg block is given a velocity of 10.0m//s up the inclined plane. It collides with M, comes back and has a velocity of 1.0m//s when it reaches its initial position. The other block M after the collision moves 0.5m up and comes to rest. Calculate the coefficient of restitution between the blocks and the mass of the block M.
