Question

A particle of mass M, moving with a velocity u makes a head on collision with a particle of m initially at rest so that the final velocities are along the same line. If the collision is elastic and Mm=k, then the final velocity of the second particle of mass m is :
  1. 2u1+k
  2. 2ku1+k
  3. kMu22(1k)
  4. 2u1k

A
2u1+k
B
2ku1+k
C
2u1k
D
kMu22(1k)
Solution
Verified by Toppr

initial momentum=Mu
let V ad v be final velocities of M and m respectively.
final momentum=MV+mv
also the collision is elastic,e=1.
u=vV&Mu=MV+mvV=vu
v=2MuM+malso,M=kmv=2ku1+k
