    A body x with a momentum p collides with another identical stationary body y one dimensionally. During the collision y gives an impulse J to the body x. Then, the coefficient of restitution is:

    A)                  \[\frac{2j}{p}-1\]                            

    B)                  \[\frac{j}{p}+1\]

    C)                  \[\frac{j}{p}-1\]                              

    D)                  \[\frac{j}{2p}-1\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                     Coefficient of restitution \[e=\frac{{{v}_{2}}-{{v}_{1}}}{{{u}_{1}}-{{u}_{2}}}\]                 Here both the bodies are identical i.e., have the same mass,                 So,          \[e=\frac{m{{v}_{2}}-m{{v}_{1}}}{m{{v}_{1}}-{{\mu }_{2}}}\]                                 \[=\frac{{{P}_{2}}-{{P}_{1}}}{{{p}_{1}}-{{p}_{2}}}\]                 \[{{p}_{1}}=p\] (Intial momentum of first body\[{{p}_{2}}=\]  Initial momentum of second body)                               = 0                  (\[\because \]Final momentum\[{{p}_{2}}=p+J\])                                (\[\therefore \]Impulse = change in momentum)                           \[{{p}_{1}}=0\]                  (\[\because \]When two bodies of equal masses collide elastically  then  thy  exchange  then velocities)                                                      \[\therefore \]  \[e=\frac{p+J}{p}\]                 \[=1+\frac{J}{p}\]
