For what value of e is a collision partially elastic?(a) 0 < e < 1(b) 1(c) e > 1(d) 0This question was addressed to me during an internship interview.This is a very interesting question from Collision topic in chapter Work, Energy and Power of Physics – Class 11

Answer»

The CORRECT choice is (a) 0 < e < 1

The best I can explain: Partially ELASTIC collision occurs when the value of e is LESS than one and more than zero. In this CASE the collision is neither perfectly elastic nor perfectly INELASTIC. Hence, we call it partially elastic collision.
