Work Energy And Power Ques 44
44. A moving block having mass $m$, collides with another stationary block having mass $4$ $ m$. The lighter block comes to rest after collision. When the initial velocity of the lighter block is $v$, then the value of coefficient of restitution (e) will be
[2018]
(a) $0.5$
(b) $0.25$
(c) $ 0.4$
(d) $0.8$
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 44.(b)
Solution:
- (b)
According to law of conservation of linear momentum,
$ m v+4 m \times 0=4 m v^{\prime}+0 \Rightarrow v^{\prime}=\frac{v}{4} $
Coefficient of restitution,
$e=\frac{\text{ Relative velocity of separation }}{\text{ Relative velocity of approach }}$
$ \quad =\frac{\frac{v}{4}}{V} $
or, $\quad e=\frac{1}{4}=0.25$
