A proton of mass \(m\) collides elastically with a particle of unknown mass at rest. After the collision, the proton and the unknown particle are seen moving at an angle of \(90^o\) with respect to each other. The mass of unknown particle is

  1. A \(\frac{m}{{\sqrt 3 }}\)
  2. B \(\frac{m}{2}\)
  3. C \(2m\)
  4. D \(m\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(m\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Apply principle of conservation of momentum along \(x-direction,\) \(mu=mv_1\) \(\cos {45^ \circ } + M{v_2}\cos {45^ \circ }\) \(mu = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}\left( {m{v_1} + M{v_2}} \right)\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,...\left( i \right)\) Along \(y-direction,\)…
