Collisions
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
Show answer and solution
Answer: (a)
- Momentum:
- Restitution:
- Solving: ,
- So the answer is (a) 0, 1.
