Q.

In a head-on one dimensional inelastic collision, the velocities of two balls of masses m1and m2 are +u1and +u2 before collision and +v1and+v2 after collision respectively. It is observed that the loss of kinetic energy of the first ball during the collision is the same as the loss of kinetic energy of the second ball. Which of the following is correct relation?

Detailed Solution

As each loses same amount of KE, 

(1/2)m1(u1 2-v1 2)= (1/2)m2(u2 2-v2 2)....(1)

And as momentum is conserved 

m1u1+ m2u2= m1v1+ m2v2

m1(u1-v1)=-m2(u2-v2)....(2)

Using (1) and (2).

(u1+v1)=-(v1+v2)

u1+ u2+ v1+ v2= 0
