An electron collides with a free molecule initially in its ground state. The collision leaves the molecule in an excited state that is metastable and does not decay to the ground state by radiation. Let $K$ be the sum of the initial kinetic energies of the electron and the molecule,and $p$ be the sum of their initial momenta. Let $K^{\prime}$ and $p^{\prime}$ represent the same physical quantities after the collision. Then,

$A$ sphere of mass $m$ moving with velocity $v$ collides head-on with another sphere of the same mass which is at rest. The ratio of the final velocity of the second sphere to the initial velocity of the first sphere is (where $e$ is the coefficient of restitution and the collision is inelastic).
