A block of mass 
moving at a velocity 
collides with another block of mass 
at rest. The lighter block comes to rest after collision. Find the coefficient of restitution.

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
From conservation of linear momentum, we can see that velocity of 
will become 
after
collision (as mass is double).
