Three identical sphere lie at rest along a line on a smooth horizontal surface. The separation between any two adjacent spheres is L. The first sphere is moved with a velocity u towards the second sphere at time t=0. The coefficient of restitution for collision between any two blocks is 1/3. Then choose the correct statement
View answer and explanation
Correct option: A
The third sphere will start moving at t=5L2ut = \frac{{5L}}{{2u}}
Option A (The third sphere will start moving at t=5L2ut = \frac{{5L}}{{2u}}) is correct because it accounts for the time taken for the first sphere to collide with the second and then for the second to collide with the third, considering the coefficient of restitution.
