$A$ moving ball collides head-on with a similar ball at rest. If $\frac{1}{4}$ of the kinetic energy is lost during the impact,the value of the coefficient of restitution is:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{2}}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • D

$A$ smooth sphere is moving on a horizontal surface with a velocity vector $(2 \hat{i} + 2 \hat{j}) \ m/s$ immediately before it hits a vertical wall. The wall is parallel to the vector $\hat{j}$ and the coefficient of restitution between the sphere and the wall is $e = 1/2$. The velocity of the sphere after it hits the wall is:

$A$ particle of mass $m$ collides with another stationary particle of mass $M$. The particle of mass $m$ stops just after the collision. The coefficient of restitution is

$A$ $1 \ kg$ ball moving with a speed of $6 \ ms^{-1}$ collides head-on with a $0.5 \ kg$ ball moving in the opposite direction with a speed of $9 \ ms^{-1}$. If the coefficient of restitution is $\frac{1}{3}$,then the energy lost in the collision is (in $J$)

Ball $A$ of mass $50 \ gm$ and speed $10 \ m/s$ collides with another ball $B$ of mass $10 \ gm$ and speed $15 \ m/s$ travelling in opposite directions. Determine the final speed of ball $B$,if the coefficient of restitution is $\frac{2}{5}$.

Particle $A$ moving with a velocity $v = 10 \ m/s$ experiences a head-on collision with a stationary particle $B$ of the same mass. As a result of the collision,the kinetic energy of the system decreases by $1 \%$. The speed of particle $A$ after the collision is: (in $m/s$)
