Question

A body of mass m moving with a constant velocity collides head on with another stationary body of same mass.If the coefficient of restitution between the bodies is then ratio of velocities of two bodies after collision will
be​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the coefficient of restitution be "e".

By linear momentum conservation :

mu = mv + mV

= > u = v + V

e = V - v/u

= > eu + v = V.

= > v/V = 1 - eu/V

Thus ratio of velocities = 1 - eu/V
