Three identical blocks A, B and C are at rest. But A is approaching towards B with a speed 10m/s. The coefficient of restitution for all collisions is 0.5. The speed of the block C just after collision is approximately
When A collide with B,
Solving equation (I) and (ii), we get
i.e., A has transferred 75% of its speed to B. Similarly, B will also transfer 75% of its speed to C.
