The sphere \(A\) of mass \(m\) moving with a constant velocity hits another sphere \(B\) of mass \(2 m\) at rest. If the coefficient of restitution is 0.4 , the ratio of the velocities of the spheres \(A\) and \(B\) after collision is

  1. A \(3: 1\)
  2. B \(1: 5\)
  3. C \(1: 7\)
  4. D \(4: 1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(1: 7\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Using law of conservation of linear momentum \(\begin{aligned} & u m=m v_1+2 m v_2 \Rightarrow u=v_1+2 v_2 \qquad....\mathrm{(i)} \\ & e=\frac{2}{5}=\frac{v_2-v_1}{u-0} \Rightarrow u=2.5 v_2-2.5 v_1 \qquad....\mathrm{(ii)} \end{aligned}\) From eq (i) & (ii) \(0.5 v_2=3.5 v_1\)…
