Work Energy And Power Question 167

Question: A body of mass 2kg is moving with velocity 10 m/s towards east. Another body of same mass and same velocity moving towards north collides with former and coalsces and moves towards north-east. Its velocity is [CPMT 1997; JIPMER 2000]

Options:

A) 10 m/s

B) 5 m/s

C) 2.5 m/s

D) 52m/s

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

Initial momentum = P=mvi^+mvj^

|P|=2mv

Final momentum = 2m×V

By the law of conservation of momentum 2m×V=2 mv

therefore V=v2

In the problem v=10m/s (given) \ V=102=52 m/s
