Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The stress due to a suddenly applied load is generally twice that of a gradually applied load because it doesn't allow time for the material to deform gradually, thus doubling the intensity of the stress.

A sphere A of mass \(m\) is thrown at 50 m/s along \(\tan^{-1}(3/4)\). At the topmost point of its trajectory, it collides centrally with sphere B (mass \(3m\)) at rest. Gravity \(g = 10\,\text{m/s}^2\). Coefficient of restitution e = 0.3. Find the speed (m/s) of sphere A immediately after collision (round to 1 decimal).
