Four smooth steel balls of equal mass at rest are free to move along a straight line without friction. The first ball is given a velocity of 0.4 . It collides head on with the second one elastically, the second one similarly with the third and so on. The velocity of the last ball is
Statement I Two particles moving in the same direction do not lose all their energy in a completely inelastic collision. Statement II Principle of conservation of momentum holds true for all kinds of collisions.
A particle falls from a height upon a fixed horizontal plane and rebounds. If is the coefficient of restitution, the total distance travelled before rebounding has stopped is
An -particle of mass suffers one dimensional elastic collision with a nucleus of unknown mass. After the collision the -particle is scattered directly backward losing of its kinetic energy .then the mass of the nucleus is
A sphere of mass moving with a constant velocity hits another stationary sphere of the same mass. If is the coefficient of restitution, then the ratio of the velocity of two spheres after collision will be
