$A$ ball is let fall from a height $h_0$. It makes $n$ collisions with the earth. After $n$ collisions it rebounds with a velocity $v_n$ and the ball rises to a height $h_n$,then the coefficient of restitution is given by

  • A
    $e=\left[\frac{h_n}{h_0}\right]^{1 / 2 n}$
  • B
    $e=\left[\frac{h_0}{h_n}\right]^{1 / 2 n}$
  • C
    $e=\frac{1}{n} \sqrt{\frac{h_n}{h_0}}$
  • D
    $e=\frac{1}{n} \sqrt{\frac{h_0}{h_n}}$

Two identical balls $A$ and $B$ of equal mass $m$ are lying on a smooth surface as shown in the figure. If ball $A$ hits ball $B$ at rest with a velocity $16 \,ms^{-1}$,then the coefficient of restitution $e$ between $A$ and $B$ so that $B$ just reaches the highest point of the smooth inclined plane of height $5 \,m$ is $\left(g=10 \,ms^{-2}\right)$

$A$ sphere of mass $m$ moving with velocity $u$ undergoes a collision with a stationary sphere of mass $m$. If the coefficient of restitution is $e = 1/2$,what is the ratio of the final velocities of the two spheres?

$A$ particle of mass $m$ moving with speed $2v$ collides with a mass $2m$ moving with speed $v$ in the same direction. After the collision,the first mass is stopped completely,while the second one splits into two particles each of mass $m$,which move at an angle of $45^o$ with respect to the original direction. The speed of each of the moving particles will be:

Two pendulums with identical bobs and lengths are suspended from a common support such that in rest position the two bobs are in contact (figure). One of the bobs is released after being displaced by $10^{\circ}$ so that it collides elastically head-on with the other bob.

$(b)$ Draw a graph showing variation in energy of either pendulum with time,for $0 \leqslant t \leqslant 2T$,where $T$ is the period of each pendulum.

$A$ body is dropped on the ground from a height $h_1$ and after hitting the ground,it rebounds to a height $h_2$. If the ratio of velocities of the body just before and after hitting the ground is $4$,then the percentage loss in kinetic energy of the body is $\frac{x}{4}$. The value of $x$ is $.......$
