$A$ ball is thrown vertically downwards with velocity $\sqrt{2gh}$ from a height $h$. After colliding with the ground,it just reaches the starting point. The coefficient of restitution is:

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

In the figure,determine the type of collision. The masses of the blocks,and the velocities before and after the collision are given. The collision is

$A$ ball of mass $2m$ and a system of two balls with equal masses $m$ connected by a massless spring are placed on a smooth horizontal surface (see figure). Initially, the ball of mass $2m$ moves with velocity $u_0$ along the line passing through the centres of all the balls and the spring, whereas the system of two balls is at rest. Assuming that the collision between the individual balls is perfectly elastic, the ratio of vibrational energy stored in the system of two connected balls to the initial kinetic energy of the ball of mass $2m$ is

$A$ heavy body moving with a velocity of $6\,ms^{-1}$ collides elastically with a light body (whose mass is half of the mass of the heavy body) at rest. The velocity of the light body will be (in $ms^{-1}$):

$A$ ball $A$ of mass $m$ moving along the positive $x$-direction with kinetic energy $K$ and momentum $p$ undergoes an elastic head-on collision with a stationary ball $B$ of mass $M$. After the collision,the ball $A$ moves along the negative $x$-direction with kinetic energy $K/9$. The final momentum of $B$ is:

$A$ mass $M$ moving with a certain speed $V$ collides elastically with another stationary mass $m$. After the collision,the masses $M$ and $m$ move with speeds $V^{\prime}$ and $v$,respectively. All motion is in one dimension. Then,
