JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 5. work,energy,power and collision

A body of mass \(1\,kg\) collides head on elastically with a stationary body of mass \(3\,kg\). After collision, the smaller body reverses its direction of motion and moves with a speed of \(2\,m / s\). The initial speed of the smaller body before collision is \(..........ms ^{-1}\)

  1. A \(3\)
  2. B \(4\)
  3. C \(2\)
  4. D \(1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(1 \times u _1=-2+3 v \Rightarrow u _1=-2+3 v\) \(1=\frac{ v +2}{ u _1} \Rightarrow v +2= u _1\) Solving \((1)\) and \((2)\) \(u _1=4\,m / s\)
