A particle of mass m0, travelling at speed v0, strikes a stationary particle of mass 2m0. As a result, the particle of mass m0 is deflected through 45o and has a final speed of 2v0. Then the speed of the particle of mass 2m0 after this collision is
A
2v0
B
22v0
C
2v0
D
2v0

Correct option is B)
A particle of mass m0, Before collision
mv0=2mvcosθ+2mv0..........(i)
θ=2mv0−2mvsinθ............(ii)
By (i) & (ii), θ=450 Now again momentum conservation in y direction
2mv0=2mv.21⇒v=22v0
