AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Center of Mass Momentum and Collision

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 \(\left[\frac{2 J}{P}-1\right]\).
(d) The coefficient of restitution is \(\left[\frac{2 J}{P}+1\right]\).

  1. A Only (a) is correct.
  2. B (a) and (c) are correct.
  3. C (b) and (c) are correct.
  4. D Only (c) is correct.

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) (b) and (c) are correct.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

According to the question, a collision between two bodies (\(A\) and \(B\)) is shown in the figure below, So, the coefficient of restitution…
