Centre of Mass 3 Question 33

36. Three particles A,B and C of equal mass move with equal speed v along the medians of an equilateral triangle as shown in figure. They collide at the centroid G of the triangle. After the collision, A comes to rest, B retraces its path with the speed v. What is the velocity of C ?

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 36. Velocity of C is v in a direction opposite to Velocity of B

Solution:

  1. Before collision, net momentum of the system was zero. No external force is acting on the system. Hence, momentum after collision should also be zero. A has come to rest. Therefore, B and C should have equal and opposite momenta or velocity of C should be v in opposite direction of velocity of B.
