Maximum energy transfer for an elastic collision will occur if one body is at rest when

Options

  1. Am1=m2m_1=m_2
  2. Bm2=12m1m_2=\frac{1}{2} m_1
  3. Cm1≫m2m_1 \gg m_2
  4. Dm2≫m1m_2 \gg m_1.

Correct answer

A. m1=m2m_1=m_2

Step-by-step solution

During elastic collision between two equal masses, the velocity of the two bodies get interchanged. So if one body is at rest, energy transfer will be maximum for m1=m2m_1=m_2
