Work Energy And Power Ques 62

62. Two equal masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ moving along the same straight line with velocities $+3 $ $m / s$ and $-5 $ $m / s$ respectively, collide elastically. Their velocities after the collision will be respectively.

[1998]

(a) $-3$ $ m / s $ & $+5 $ $m / s$

(b) $+4 $ $m / s$ for both

(c) $-4$ $ m / s $ & $+4 $ $m / s$

(d) $-5$ $ m / s $ & $+3 $ $m / s$

Answer:

Correct Answer: 62.(d)

Solution:

  1. (d) In elastic collision, the velocities get inter changed if the colliding objects have equal masses.
