A moving block having mass collides with another stationary block having mass The lighter block comes to rest after collision. When the initial velocity of the lighter block is then the value of coefficient of restitution will be
To solve this problem, we will use the principles of conservation of momentum and the coefficient of restitution.Given:• Mass of the moving block • Mass of the stationary block • Initial velocity of the moving block • Final velocity of the moving block after collision • Initial velocity of the stationary block Let's denote:• Final velocity of the stationary block after collision as Using the conservation of momentum:Initial momentum Final momentumSimplify:Solve for Now, using the definition of the coefficient of restitution, which is Relative velocity of separationRelative velocity of approachRelative velocity of approach Relative velocity of separation Substitute these values into the equation for Simplify:Therefore, the value of the coefficient of restitution is This corresponds to Option 2.
