Two balls of mass 500g and 750g moving with 15m/s and  10m/s towards each other collides. Find the velocities of the ball after  collision, if the coefficient of restitution is 0.8

MV+mv=15m−10M                    =15×0.5−10×0.75=0  ⇒   0.75V+0.5v=0  or      3V=−2v   ...(i)  further  vel. of sep=e×vel. of app  ⇒V−v=0.8(15+10) = 20    ...(ii)  using (i) in (ii):       −(2/3)v−v=20  ⇒     v=−12m/s    V=−(2/3)v =−(2/3)×(−12) =8m/s .
