Maximum energy transfer for an elastic c...

Maximum energy transfer for an elastic collision will occur if one body is at rest when

A

`m_(1)=m_(2)`

B

`m_(2)=(1)/(2) m_(1)`

C

`m_(1) gt gt m_(2)`

D

`m_(2) gt gt m_(1)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
During elastic collision between two equal masses, the velocity of the two bodies get interchanged . So if one body is at rest , energy transfer will be maximum for `m_(1)=m_(2)`
