Question:

A ball moving with velocity 2 m/s collides head on with another stationary ball of double the mass. If the coefficient of restitution is 0.5 then their velocities (in m/s) after collision will be

Options:

0, 2

0, 1

1, 1

1, 0.5

Correct Answer:

0, 1

Explanation:

m x 2 = m x v1 + 2mv2

2 = v1 + 2v2

0.5 x 2 = v2 - v1

v2 = 1, v1 = 0
