Question

The two diagrams show the situation before and after a collision between two spheres A and B of equal radii moving along the same straight line on a smooth horizontal surface. The coefficient of restitution e is, 2 3, 1 2, 1 3, 1 4

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

e = v 2 – v 1 u 1 – u 2 = v s e p . v a p p . ; u 1 = 8 m / s , v 1 = 2 m / s u 2 = 2 m / s , v 2 = 5 m / s ⇒ e = 5 − 2 8 − 2 = 3 6 = 1 2
