Ball $P$ of mass $m$ moving with velocity $v$ collides with another ball $Q$ of mass $2m$,which is at rest. If $v_P$ and $v_Q$ are the final velocities of $P$ and $Q$ respectively after the collision,then (Assume the coefficient of restitution is $e = 1/3$):

  • A
    $\frac{v_Q}{v_P} = 4$
  • B
    $\frac{v_P}{v_Q} = 4$
  • C
    $\frac{v_Q}{v_P} = 2$
  • D
    $\frac{v_P}{v_Q} = 2$

Two identical balls $A$ and $B$ of equal mass $m$ are lying on a smooth surface as shown in the figure. If ball $A$ hits ball $B$ at rest with a velocity $16 \,ms^{-1}$,then the coefficient of restitution $e$ between $A$ and $B$ so that $B$ just reaches the highest point of the smooth inclined plane of height $5 \,m$ is $\left(g=10 \,ms^{-2}\right)$

$A$ moving block having mass $m$ collides with another stationary block having mass $4m$. The lighter block comes to rest after the collision. If the initial velocity of the lighter block is $v$,then the value of the coefficient of restitution $(e)$ will be:

Two balls $A$ and $B$ having masses $1 \ kg$ and $2 \ kg$,moving with speeds $21 \ m/s$ and $4 \ m/s$ respectively in opposite directions,collide head-on. After the collision,$A$ moves with a speed of $1 \ m/s$ in the same direction. The coefficient of restitution is:

$A$ bullet of mass $m$ and speed $v$ hits a pendulum bob of mass $M$ at time $t_1$,and passes completely through the bob. The bullet emerges at time $t_2$ with a speed of $v/2$. The pendulum bob is suspended by a stiff rod of length $l$ and negligible mass. After the collision,the bob can barely swing through a complete vertical circle. At time $t_3$,the bob reaches the highest position. What quantities are conserved in this process?
