Two indentical balls A and B moving with velocities `u_(A)` and `u_(B)` I the same direction collide. Coefficient of restitution is e. (a) Deduce expression for velocities of the balls after the collision. (b) If collision is perfectly elastic, what do you observe? |

Answer» Equation expressing momentum conservation is `v_(A) + v_(B) = u_(A) + u_(B)` …(A) Equation of coefficient of restitution is `v_(B) - v_(A) = e u_(A) - e U_(B)m` …(B) (a) From the above two equations, velocities `v_(A)` and `v_(B)` are `v_(A) = ((1-e)/2)u_(A)+((1+e)/2)u_(B)` ...(i) `v_(B) = ((1+e)/2)u_(A) + ((1-e)/2)u_(B)` ...(ii) (b) For perfectly elastic impact `e = 1`, velocities `v_(A)` and `v_(B)` are `v_(A) = u_(B)` ...(iii) `v_(B) = u_(A)` ...(iv) Identical bodies exchange their velocities after perfectly elastic impact. |
