A ball P moving with a speed of v ~ms ⁻¹ collides directly with another identical ball Q moving with a speed 10 ~ms ⁻¹ in the opposite direction. P comes to rest after the collision. If the coefficient of restitution is 0.6 , the value of v is
Options
- A30 ms⁻¹
- B40 ms⁻¹
- C50 ms⁻¹
- D60 ms⁻¹
Correct answer
B. 40 ms⁻¹
Step-by-step solution
From conservation of moment, aligned & m(v-10)=m v₂ & v₂=(v-10) & V 10 m / s & V =0 ~V ₂ Berore aligned The coefficient of restitution, aligned e & = Velocity of separation Velocity of approach & = v₂-v₁ u₁+u₂ = (v-10)-0 (v+10) & 0.6= v-10 v+10 & 0.6 v+6=v-10 & 0.4 v=16 v=40 ~ms ⁻¹ aligned
