Ball P of mass m moving with velocity 'v' collides with another ball Q of mass 2 m, at rest. If vP and vQ are the final velocities of P and Q respectively, after collision, then
(Assume the coefficient of restitution is 1/3)

  1. A vQvP=4
  2. B vPvQ=4
  3. C vQvP=2
  4. D vPvQ=2
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) vQvP=4

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

From conservation of linear momentum, we have mv+2m×0=mvP+2mvQ ⇒v=vP+2vQ  ...1 From coefficient of restitution formula, we have e=13=vQ-vPv-0 ⇒vQ-vP=v3  ...2 On dividing 1 by 2, we have ⇒vP+2vQvQ-vP=3 ⇒1+2VQvPvQvP-1=3…
