Question

In a one-dimensional collision between two identical particles A and B. B is stationary and A has momentum p before impact. During impact, B gives an impulse J to A. Find the coefficient of restitution between A and B?

Open in App
Solution

Given that,

Momenta of A=p1

Momenta of B=p2

Now, applying impulse

For A,

J=p1

For B,

J=pp2

p2=pJ

Now, the coefficient of restitution is

e=p1p2p

e=2Jpp

e=2Jp1

Hence, the coefficient of restitution is 2Jp1
