Three particles A, B and C of equal mass...

Three particles A, B and C of equal mass move with equal speed V along the medians of an equilateral triangle as shown in hgure. They collide at the centroid G of the triangle. After the collision, A comes to test, B retraces its path with the speed V. What is the velocity of C ?

A

v, direction `bar(OA)`

B

2v, direction `bar(OA)`

C

2v, direction `bar(OB)`

D

2v, direction `bar(BO)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Initial momentum of system is zero so, final momentum should also be zero. Finally `A` comes to rest after collision, so to have final momentum zeero, `B` and `C` should move in opposite directions.
