Collision takes place between two solid spheres denoted as 1 and 2 . The initial velocities of the spheres are \(u_1=3 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) and \(u_2=1.5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) and the final velocities are \(v_1=2.5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\) and \(v_2=3.5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\). The coefficient of restitution between the materials of the spheres is nearly

  1. A 0.67
  2. B 0.78
  3. C 0.83
  4. D 0.96
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 0.67

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Coefficient of restitution, \[ \begin{aligned} & e=\frac{\text { Relative velocity of separation }}{\text { Relative velocity of approach }} \\ & \Rightarrow \quad e=\frac{v_2-v_1}{u_1-u_2}=\frac{3.5-25}{3-1.5}=\frac{1}{1.5}=\frac{2}{3}=0.67 \end{aligned} \]
