AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Center of Mass Momentum and Collision

A particle of mass 'm', moving with a velocity 'v' makes an elastic collision in one dimension with a stationary particle of mass 'm'. During the collision, they remain in contact with each other for an extremely small time 'T': Their force of contact, with time is shown in the figure. Then F0=

  1. A 2mvT
  2. B 4mv3T
  3. C mvT
  4. D 3mv4T
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 4mv3T

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In an elastic head-on collision between two particles, the velocity of the particle gets exchanged, therefore net change of momentum of a particle is, ∆p=m∆v=mv-0=mv From newton's second law, the rate of change of momentum is force.…
