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 $\mathrm{v}_{2}=\left(\frac{1+\mathrm{e}}{2}\right) \mathrm{u}_{1}$

$\text { Now } \quad v_{2}=2 v_{1}$

$\left(\frac{1+\mathrm{e}}{2}\right) \mathrm{u}_{1}=2\left(\frac{1-\mathrm{e}}{2}\right) \mathrm{u}_{1}$

$e=\frac{1}{3}$
