In perfectly inelastic collisions, the relative velocity of the bodies
Options
- Abefore impact is zero
- Bbefore impact is equal to that after impact
- Cafter impact is zero
- Dis characterised by none of the above
Correct answer
C. after impact is zero
Step-by-step solution
We know that, in perfectly inelastic collisions between two bodies, both bodies move together with same velocity after impact. Relative velocity after impact, v _ Rel = v ₁- v ₂= v - v =0
