Work Energy And Power Question 172

Question: A body of mass m1 is moving with a velocity V. It collides with another stationary body of mass m2. They get embedded. At the point of collision, the velocity of the system [DCE 1999, 2001]

Options:

A) Increases

B) Decreases but does not become zero

C) Remains same

D) Become zero

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

By momentum conservation before and after collision. m1V+m2×0=(m1+m2)v

therefore v=m1m1+m2V i.e. Velocity of system is less than V.
