    A sphere of mass m moving with constant velocity hits another stationary sphere of the same mass. If e is the coefficient of restitution, aid the ratio of velocities of the two spheres after die collision will be

    A)                  \[\frac{1}{e}\] 

    B)                  \[\frac{1-e}{1+e}\]        

    C)                  \[\frac{e}{1+e}\]            

    D)                  \[\frac{e+1}{e}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     The velocity of sphere of mass \[m={{u}_{1}}\]                 The velocity of another sphere of mass m                 \[={{u}_{2}}=0\]                 The velocity after collision of first sphere                 \[{{v}_{1}}=\left( \frac{m-em}{m+m} \right){{u}_{1}}+0\]                 The velocity after collision of second sphere                 \[{{v}_{2}}=\left[ \frac{(1+e)m}{(m+m)} \right]{{u}_{1}}+0\]                 \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{{{v}_{1}}}{{{v}_{2}}}=\frac{1-e}{1+e}\]
