$A$ ball impinges directly on a similar ball at rest. If $1/4^{th}$ of the kinetic energy is lost by the impact, the value of the coefficient of restitution is:

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • D
    $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$

$A$ particle of mass $m$ moving with velocity $u$ makes an elastic one-dimensional collision with a stationary particle of mass $m$. They are in contact for a very short time $T$. Their force of interaction increases from zero to $F_0$ linearly in time $T/2$, and decreases linearly to zero in further time $T/2$. The magnitude of $F_0$ is

$A$ body of mass $2\,kg$ makes an elastic collision with a second body of mass $m$ at rest and continues to move in the original direction but with one-fourth of its original speed. What is the mass of the second body? ................ $kg$
