Work Energy And Power Question 85

Question: A heavy steel ball of mass greater than 1 kg moving with a speed of 2 $ m{{\sec }^{-1}} $ collides head on with a stationary ping-pong ball of mass less than 0.1 gm. The collision is elastic. After the collision the ping-pong ball moves approximately with speed [EAMCET 1982]

Options:

A) $ 2m{{\sec }^{-1}} $

B) $ 4m{{\sec }^{-1}} $

C) $ 2\times 10^{4}m{{\sec }^{-1}} $

D) $ 2\times 10^{3}m{{\sec }^{-1}} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

We know that when heavier body strikes elastically with a lighter body then after collision lighter body will move with double velocity that of heavier body. i.e.the ping pong ball move with speed of $ 2\times v=4\ m/s $
