Work Energy And Power Question 80

Question: Two solid rubber balls A and B having masses 200 and 400 gm respectively are moving in opposite directions with velocity of A equal to 0.3 m/s. After collision the two balls come to rest, then the velocity of B is [CPMT 1978, 86, 88]

Options:

A) 0.15 m/sec

B) 1.5 m/sec

C) ? 0.15 m/sec

D) None of the above

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Initial linear momentum of system = mAvA+mBvB = 0.2 × 0.3 + 0.4 × vB Finally both balls come to rest

final linear momentum = 0

By the law of conservation of linear momenum

0.2 × 0.3 + 0.4 × vB = 0 vB=0.2×0.30.4=0.15 m/s
