AIPMT PRELIMS 2010 Physics Elastic and Inelastic Collisions MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

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

A

0, 2

B

0, 1

C

1, 1

D

1, 0.5

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

Using the coefficient of restitution e = 0.5 and the conservation of momentum, the velocities after collision can be calculated. Solving the equations, we find the velocities to be 0 m/s and 1 m/s respectively.
