Two bodies of the same mass are moving with the same speed, but in different directions in a plane. They have a completely inelastic collision and move together thereafter with a final speed which is half of their initial speed. The angle between the initial velocities of the two bodies (in degree) is.

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(120\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Momentum conservation along \(x\)

\(2 mv _{0} \cos \theta=2 m \frac{ v _{0}}{2}\)

\(\cos \theta=\frac{1}{2}\)

\(\theta=60\)

Angle is \(2 \theta=120\)
