Question

A ball of B₁ of mass m moving with velocity u₁ collides head on with another ball Ball B₂ of the same mass at rest.Given that the coefficient of restitution is e. Answer the following questions. What will be the ratio of the velocities of two balls after collisions

A. 1+e/1-e

B.(1+e)/2

C.( 1-e)/2

D. e

Can I get the solution sir

Answer 1

A ball 1 moving with velocity u collides with an identical ball 2 at rest, then after collision

v2 = (1+e)/2 *u and v1= (1-e)/2 *u, where u is initial speed of ball 1.

ratio is = v2/v1 = (1+e) / (1-e)

v2=(1+e2)
