Passage 1

A small block of mass $M$ moves on a frictionless surface of an inclined plane, as shown in figure. The angle of the incline suddenly changes from $60^{\circ}$ to $30^{\circ}$ at point $B$ . The block is initially at rest at $A$ . Assume that collisions between the block and the incline are totally inelastic $(g = 10 m / s^{2})$ .

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 23. (d)

Solution:

In case of elastic collision, coefficient of restitution $e = 1$ .

Magnitude of relative velocity of approach =Magnitude of relative velocity of separation.

But relative speed of approach

$\neq$ Relative speed of separation
