Solution

The correct option is C

Since 1 and $k^{2}$ are being subtracted , they should have the same dimensions. 1 is a number i.e. dimensionless

$[1 - k^{2}] = M^{0} L^{0} T^{0}$

Hence, $[k] = M^{0} L^{0} T^{0}$

Actually, k is the coefficient of restitution.

In a direct impact, loss in kinetic energy is given by △K=M1M22(M1+M2).(V1−V2)2(1−K2) with usual notations(except k). The quality k will have dimensional formula:

The correct option is C Since 1 and k2 are being subtracted , they should have the same dimensions. 1 is a number i.e. dimensionless [1−k2]=M0L0T0 Hence, [k]=M0L0T0 Actually, k is the coefficient of restitution.
