Question:

A particle (𝑝1) of mass π‘š moving with speed 𝑣 collides with a stationary identical particle (𝑝2). The particles bounce off each other elastically with 𝑝1 getting deflected by an angle πœƒ = 30Β° from its original direction. Then, which of the following statement(s) is/are true after the collision?

Updated On: Oct 25, 2024
  • Speed of 𝑝1 is \(\frac{\sqrt3}{2}\) V
  • Kinetic energy of 𝑝2 is 25% of the total energy
  • Angle between the directions of motion of the two particles is 90Β°
  • The kinetic energy of the centre of mass of 𝑝1 and 𝑝2 decreases
