A sphere of mass 25 Kg is moving at a speed of 1.5 m/s undergoes collision with another sphere of mass 50 Kg moving at 3m/s in the same direction, find the velocity of 50 Kg mass in m/s after collision when the collision is inelastic with e = 0.6.

A sphere of mass 25 Kg is moving at a speed of 1.5 m/s undergoes collision with another sphere of mass 50 Kg moving at 3m/s in the same direction, find the velocity of 50 Kg mass in m/s after collision when the collision is inelastic with e = 0.6. Correct Answer 2.2

Velocity during elastic collision is given by m1u1 + m2u2/(m1+ m2) = v substituting the values we get V = 2.5 m/s v1 = 2(1+e)V – eu1 v1 = 2.2 m/s.
