MHT CET · Physics · Center of Mass Momentum and Collision

An object of mass ' \(m\) ' moving with velocity ' \(u\) ' collides with another stationary object of mass ' M ' and stops just after the collision. The coefficient of restitution is

  1. A \(\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{M}+\mathrm{m}}\)
  2. B \(\frac{M-m}{M+m}\)
  3. C \(\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{M}}\)
  4. D 1
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{M}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(m u + M (0) = m (0) + M v_2\) \(v_2 = \frac{mu}{M}\)
