MHT CET · Physics · Center of Mass Momentum and Collision
Two masses \(m_1\) and \(m_2\) moving with velocities \(v_1\) and \(v_2\) in opposite directions collide elastically and after collision masses \(m_1\) and \(m_2\) move with velocity \(v_2\) and \(v_1\) respectively. The ratio \(\left(\frac{m_2}{m_1}\right)\) is
- A \(0.75\)
- B \(1\)
- C \(1.5\)
- D \(1.25\)
