MCQ
Particle $A$ makes a perfectly elastic collision with another particle $B$ at rest. They fly apart in opposite direction with equal speeds. If their masses are $m_A$ and $m_B$ respectively, then
  • A
    $2 m_A=m_B$
  • B
    $\sqrt{3} m_A=m_B$
  • C
    $4 m_A=m_B$
  • $3 m_A=m_B$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$3 m_A=m_B$
d
(d)

From conservation of momentum and mechanical energy conservation

$3 m_A=m_B$
