MHT CET · Physics · Center of Mass Momentum and Collision
A sphere of mass' \(m\) ' moving with velocity ' \(v\) 'collides head-on another sphere of same mass which is at rest. The ratio of final velocity of second sphere to the initial velocity of the first sphere is ( \(e\) is coefficient of restitution and collision is inelastic)
- A \(\frac{e-1}{2}\)
- B \(\frac{e}{2}\)
- C \(\frac{e+1}{2}\)
- D \(e\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(\frac{e+1}{2}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned}& m V+0=m V_1+m V_2 \\& V_1+V_2=V \ldots \ldots .(1) \\& e=\frac{V_2-V_1}{u_1-u_2} \\& e=\frac{V_2-V_1}{V-0} \\& e V=V_2-V_1 \ldots \ldots .(2)\end{aligned}\)
By solving these equations,
\(\begin{aligned}& e V+V=2 V_2 \\& V_2=\frac{V(e+1)}{2} \\& \frac{V_2}{V}=\frac{e+1}{2}\end{aligned}\)
