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
b
c
d

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Initial momentum of body - 1 = p. As the impulse transeferred by y to x is in a direction opposite to the direction of initial motion of x, its final momentum mv2 = p + (-J). Also, since impulse transferred by x to y is in the direction of motion of y , we can write, mv2 = J
