Consider the following statements

A

and

B

and identify the correct answer A. In an elastic collision, if a body suffers a head on collision with another of same mass at rest, then the first body comes to rest while the other starts moving with the velocity of the first one. B. Two bodies of equal mass suffering a head on elastic collision merely exchanges their velocities

Options

Aboth $A$ and $B$ are true
Bboth $A$ and $B$ are false
C $A$ is true but $B$ is false
D $A$ is false but $B$ is true

Correct answer

A. both $A$ and $B$ are true

Step-by-step solution

Both statements

A

and

B

given in the system are true.
