  1. A 4n21+n2
  2. B 4n1+n2
  3. C 4n1+n2
  4. D 4n2
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 4n1+n2

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

If the velocity after the collision of the lighter particle is taken as v2 and that of the heavier particle is taken as v1 Applying conservation of momentum, mu=mv1+mnv2⇒u=v1+v2n From coefficient of restitution, v2-v1=u⇒v1=v2-u Putting the value of v1 in the above…
