  • A
    $\frac{M}{m}$
  • B
    $\frac{m+M}{M}$
  • C
    $\frac{M-m}{M+m}$

$A$ $2 \,kg$ ball moving at $24 \,ms^{-1}$ undergoes inelastic head-on collision with a $4 \,kg$ ball moving in the opposite direction at $48 \,ms^{-1}$. If the coefficient of restitution is $2/3$, their velocities in $ms^{-1}$ after impact are

$A$ body falling from a height of $10\,m$ rebounds from a hard floor. If it loses $20\%$ of its energy in the impact,then the coefficient of restitution is:

$A$ ball falls from a height $h$ upon a fixed horizontal floor. The coefficient of restitution for the collision between the ball and the floor is $e$. The total distance covered by the ball before coming to rest is [neglect the air resistance].
