A body (A ) moving with momentum (P ) collides one-dimensionally with another stationary body (B ) of same mass. During impact, (A ) gives impulse (J ) to (B ). Then which of the following is/are correct? (a) The total momentum of (A ) and (B ) is (P ) before and after impact and ((P-J) ) during the impact. (b) During the impact, (B ) gives impulse of magnitude (J ) to (A ). (c) The coefficient of restitution is ( [
Options
- AOnly (a) is correct.
- B(a) and (c) are correct.
- C(b) and (c) are correct.
- DOnly (c) is correct.
Correct answer
C. (b) and (c) are correct.
Step-by-step solution
According to the question, a collision between two bodies ( (A ) and (B )) is shown in the figure below, So, the coefficient of restitution ( aligned e & = Relative velocity of separation Relative velocity of approach e & = J-p m + J m p m -0 = 2 J P -1 ( v= m v m = p m ) aligned ) During the impact, (B ) gives impulse (J_B=p+J-p=J ) Hence, the statement (b) and (c) are correct.
