If u₁ and u₂ are the velocities of two moving bodies in the same direction before impact and v₁ and v₂ are their velocities after impact, then coefficient of restitution is given by

\(\frac { v_1-v_2 } { u_1 - u_2 } \)

\(\frac { v_2 - v_1} { u_2 - u_1} \)

\(\frac { u_1 - u_2 } { v_1-v_2 } \)

\(\frac { u_2 + u_1 } { v_2 + v_1 }\)

Two bodies of masses m₁,and m₂ are hung from the ends of a rope, passing oyer a frictionless pulley as shown in the figure below. The acceleration of the string will be

\(\frac { g (m_1 - m_2) } { m_1 + m_2 }\)

\(\frac { 2g (m_1 - m_2) } { m_1 + m_2 }\)

\( \frac { g (m_1 + m_2) } { m_1 - m_2 }\)

\(\frac { 2g (m_1 + m_2) } { m_1 - m_2 }\)
