A moving block, having mass m, collides with another stationary block, having mass 4 m. The lighter block comes to rest after collision. When the initial velocity of the lighter block is v, then the value of coefficient of restitution (e) will be
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Applying C.O.L.M
or velocity of bigger block just after collision, 
Coefficient of restitution 
Here 
and 
Hence
