A body of mass 3kg collides elastically with another body at rest...
A body of mass collides elastically with another body at rest and then continues to move in the original direction with one-half of its original speed. What is the mass of the target body (in )?

Correct answer
1
Step-by-step solution
Conservation of linear momentum :
Newton's experimental law :
Putting for elastic collision we obtain,
Using (1) and (2), we obtain .
