A particle of mass ' m ' collides with another stationary particle of mass ' M '. Particle of mass ' m ' stops just after collision. The coefficient of restitution is
Options
- AM m
- Bm + M M
- CM-m M+m
- Dm M
Correct answer
D. m M
Step-by-step solution
Let v be the velocity of mass m and v ' be the velocity of mass M after collision.' By law of conservation of momentum aligned & mv = Mv & v ^ v = m M aligned Coefficient of restitutions, e = Re lative velocity after collision Relative velocity before collision = v ^ v = m M
