Name the instrument used to measure the coefficient of restitution of a material and explain why frictional force is a non-conservative force.

  • A
    Spherometer,because it dissipates energy as heat.
  • B
    Ballistic pendulum,because work done depends on the path taken.
  • C
    Coefficient of restitution apparatus,because work done depends on the path taken.
  • D
    Torsion balance,because it is a contact force.

This question has Statement-$1$ and Statement-$2$. Of the four choices given after the statements, choose the one that best describes the two statements.
Statement-$1$: $A$ point particle of mass $m$ moving with speed $u$ collides with a stationary point particle of mass $M$. If the maximum energy loss possible is given as $f \left( \frac{1}{2} m u^2 \right)$, then $f = \left( \frac{m}{M + m} \right)$.
Statement-$2$: Maximum energy loss occurs when the particles get stuck together as a result of the collision.

$A$ particle of mass $m$ moving horizontally with velocity $v_0$ strikes a smooth wedge of mass $M$,as shown in the figure. After the collision,the particle starts moving up the inclined face of the wedge and rises to a height $h$. Choose the correct statement$(s)$ related to particle $m$.
