A ball of mass m 1 is moving with velocity 3 v . It collides head on elastically with a stationary ball of mass m 2 . The velocity of both the balls become v after collision. Then the value of the ratio m 2 m 1 is
Options
- A1
- B2
- C3
- D4
Correct answer
B. 2
Step-by-step solution
3 m 1 v = m 1 v + m 2 v 3 m 1 v - m 1 v = m 2 v 2 m 1 v = m 2 v ∴ m 2 m 1 = 2
