Three particles with equal mass move with equal speed `v` along the medians of an equilateral triangle as shown. They all collide at the centroid simultaneously. After the collision. `A` comes to rest, `B` retraces it's path with same speed. What is speed of `C` after the collision?

A

`v`

B

`v//2`

C

`2v`

D

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`P_(i)=0`
`P_(i)=0`, So speed of C id equla to that of B and moving in opposite direction.
So Ans. Is v.
