$A$ ball of mass $m$ moving with velocity $v$ collides head-on with a second ball of mass $m$ at rest. If the coefficient of restitution is $e$,the velocity of the first ball after collision is $v_1$,and the velocity of the second ball after collision is $v_2$,then:

  • A
    $v_1 = \frac{(1+e)v}{2}, v_2 = \frac{(1-e)v}{2}$
  • B
    $v_1 = \frac{(1-e)v}{2}, v_2 = \frac{(1+e)v}{2}$
  • C
    $v_1 = \frac{v}{2}, v_2 = -\frac{v}{2}$
  • D
    $v_1 = (1+e)v, v_2 = (1-e)v$

$A$ ball is allowed to fall freely from a height of $42 \ m$ from the ground. If the coefficient of restitution between the ball and the ground is $0.4$,then the total distance travelled by the ball before it comes to rest is (in $m$)

Two identical balls $P$ and $Q$ moving in the $x-y$ plane collide at the origin $(x=0, y=0)$ of the coordinate system. Their velocity components just before the moment of impact were,for ball $P$,$v_x = 6 \ m/s, v_y = 0$; for ball $Q$,$v_x = -5 \ m/s, v_y = 2 \ m/s$. As a result of the collision,ball $P$ comes to rest. The velocity components of ball $Q$ just after the collision will be:
