Three identical balls, ball I, ball II and ball III are placed on a smooth floor on a straight line at the separation of `10m` between balls as shown in figure. Initially balls are stationary. But I is given velocity of `10m//s` towards ball II, collision between balls I and II is inelastic with coefficient of restitution `0.5` but collision between balls II and III is perfectly elastic. What is the time interval between two consecutive collisions between ball I and II?
