5.Work, Energy, Power and Collision
normal
A ball $P$ collides with another identical ball $Q$ at rest. For what value of coefficient of restitution $e$, the velocity of ball $Q$ become two times that of ball $P$ after collision
A
$\frac{1}{3}$
B
$\frac{1}{2}$
C
$\frac{1}{4}$
D
$\frac{1}{6}$
Solution
$\mathrm{v}_{1}=\left(\frac{1-\mathrm{e}}{2}\right) \mathrm{u}_{1}$ and $\mathrm{v}_{2}=\left(\frac{1+\mathrm{e}}{2}\right) \mathrm{u}_{1}$
$\text { Now } \quad v_{2}=2 v_{1}$
$\left(\frac{1+\mathrm{e}}{2}\right) \mathrm{u}_{1}=2\left(\frac{1-\mathrm{e}}{2}\right) \mathrm{u}_{1}$
$e=\frac{1}{3}$
