A toy truck of mass 2 m elastically collides with a toy car of mass . speed of truck is and car is at rest. Find the velocity of car after collision.
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
Mass of toy truck
Mass of toy car
Initial speed of truck
and initial speed of car
If be the final velocity of truck and car after collision, then by law of conservation of momentum,
Total initial momentum = total final momentum
For elastic collision, coefficient of restitution,
i.e.
Solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we have
