Two smooth objects with a coefficient of restitution $e$ collide directly and bounce as shown. Newton's law of restitution gives:

  • A
    $e \times 4u = v_2 + v_1$
  • B
    $e \times 2u = v_1 + v_2$
  • C
    $e \times 2u = v_2 - v_1$
  • D
    It cannot be applied as the masses are not known.

Assertion $(A)$: In an elastic collision of two billiard balls,both kinetic energy and linear momentum remain conserved.
Reason $(R)$: During the collision of the balls,as the collision is elastic,there is no exchange of energy. Therefore,both energy and momentum are conserved.

$A$ ball of mass $10\, kg$ is moving with a velocity of $10\, m/s$. It strikes another ball of mass $5\, kg$ which is moving in the same direction with a velocity of $4\, m/s$. If the collision is elastic,their velocities after the collision will be,respectively

When does the maximum energy transfer occur during an elastic collision?

It is found that if a neutron suffers an elastic collinear collision with deuterium at rest,the fractional loss of its energy is $P_d$; while for its similar collision with a carbon nucleus at rest,the fractional loss of energy is $P_c$. The values of $P_d$ and $P_c$ are respectively:

Ball $A$ moving at $12 \ m/s$ collides elastically with ball $B$ (initially at rest) as shown in the figure. If both balls have the same mass, what is the final velocity of ball $A$ in $m/s$?
