A ball moving with velocity 
involves head-on collision with another stationary ball of double the mass. If the coefficient of restitution is 0.5, then the velocities (in 
) after the collision will be
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Here, 
,
and coefficient of restitution, 
.
Here, 
and 
be their respective velocities after collision. Applying the law of conservation of linear momentum, we get
or 
or 2 
… (i)
According to coefficient of restitution,
or 
1 
… (ii)
Solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
