A ball is moving with velocity `2m//s` towards a heavy wall moving towards the ball with speed `1m//s` as shown in figure. Assuming collision to be elastic, find the velocity of ball immediately after the collision.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The speed of the wall will not change after the collision.
Let `v` be the velocity of the ball after collision in the direction shown in figure. Since collision is elastic `(e=1)`.
Speed of separation speed `=` Speed of approach
`=v-1=2+1` or `v=4m/s`
