A block of mass \(1~\text{kg}\) is given an initial velocity of \(2~\text{m/s}\) towards a \(2~\text{kg}\) block, which is initially at rest. The coefficient of restitution \((e),\) between the blocks, during their collision is \({\Large\frac{1}{2}}.\)
The momentum of the system, as a result of the collision:
1. increases
2. decreases
3. remains constant
4. decreases suddenly and then increases

A block \((A)\) of mass \(1~\text{kg}\) collides head-on with a stationary block \((B)\) of mass \(2~\text{kg}\) lying on a frictionless horizontal plane. The incoming block \((A)\) has a velocity of \(3~\text{m/s}\) before collision.
If the coefficient of restitution for the collision is \(e=\dfrac12,\) the final relative speed between the blocks is:
1. \(3~\text{m/s}\)
2. \(2~\text{m/s}\)
3. \(1.5~\text{m/s}\)
4. \(1~\text{m/s}\)

An object of mass \(m,\) moving with a speed \(v,\) collides with a stationary object of mass \(M\) & gets linked with it to form a single object. The loss of kinetic energy, during this collision, equals the potential energy stored in a spring (spring constant \(k\)). When its normal length is changed by an amount \(x,\) the value of \(x\) equals:
1. \(v\left[\dfrac{mM}{(k(m+M)}\right]^{1/2}\)
2. \(v\left[\dfrac{mM}{(k(m-M)}\right]^{1/2}\)
3. \(\left[\dfrac{vkmM}{m+M}\right]^{1/2}\)
4. \(\left[\dfrac{vkmM}{m-M}\right]^{1/2}\)
1. \(v\left[\dfrac{mM}{(k(m+M)}\right]^{1/2}\)
2. \(v\left[\dfrac{mM}{(k(m-M)}\right]^{1/2}\)
