A block of mass 1 kg is pushed towards another block of mass 2 kg...
A block of mass kg is pushed towards another block of mass kg from a distance as shown in the figure. If just after the collision, the velocity of kg block is , then

Options
- ACoefficient of restitution between the blocks is
- BCoefficient of restitution between two blocks is \dfrac{1}{2}
- CCoefficient of restitution between two blocks is \dfrac{1}{3}
- DCoefficient of restitution between two blocks is \dfrac{1}{4}
Correct answer
A. Coefficient of restitution between the blocks is
Step-by-step solution
From conservation of linear momentum we can see that velocity of kg block just after collision is leftwards.


Now relative velocity of approach =
and relative velocity of separation =
Now relative velocity of approach =
and relative velocity of separation =
