$A$ body of mass $m_1$ moving with a velocity $3 \, ms^{-1}$ collides with another body at rest of mass $m_2$. After the collision,the velocities of the two bodies are $2 \, ms^{-1}$ and $5 \, ms^{-1}$ respectively along the direction of motion of $m_1$. The ratio $\frac{m_1}{m_2}$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{5}{12}$
  • B
    $5$
  • C
    $0.2$
  • D
    $2.4$

$A$ small steel ball bounces on a steel plate held horizontally. On each bounce, the speed of the ball arriving at the plate is reduced by a factor $e$ (coefficient of restitution) in the rebound, so that $V_{\text{upward}} = e V_{\text{downward}}$. If the ball is initially dropped from a height of $0.4 \text{ m}$ above the plate and if $10 \text{ s}$ later the bouncing ceases, the value of $e$ is:

$A$ ball moving with velocity $2 \,m/s$ collides head-on with another stationary ball of double the mass. If the coefficient of restitution is $0.5$, then their velocities (in $m/s$) after collision will be:
