MHT CET 2024 Physics question

A particle of mass m collides with another stationary particle of mass M. the particle m stops just after collision. The coefficient of restitution is

(A)Correct
(B)
(C)1
(D)

Answer: (A)

Solution

Let m move with speed and M be at rest. After the collision m stops and M moves with speed . Momentum conservation: , so . Coefficient of restitution \dfrac{speed of separation}${\text{speed of
