Q. Assertion (A) : The value of coefficient of restitution is independent of the masses and velocities of the colliding bodies but depends on their materials.
Reason (R) : Coefficient of restitution is the ratio of the relative velocity of separation or the relative velocity of approach

Q. In two separate collisions, the coefficients of restitution are

e_{1}

e_{2}

are in the ratio

3 : 1

. In the first collision the relative velocity of approach is twice the relative velocity of separation, then the ratio between relative velocity of approach and the relative velocity of separation in the second collision is :

Q. Match the following

List - I	List - II

b) Bodies stick together	f) Newton's III law
c) Force	g) Coefficient of restitution $=$ 1
d) Recoil of the gun	h) Coefficient of restitution $=$ 0
	i) Binding energy

Q. A block of mass

2 m

moving with a velocity of

v

collides with a bock of mass
