The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of two particles colliding and exchanging their velocities, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Define the Variables**: - Let the mass of particle A be \( m_A \) and its initial velocity be \( V_A \). - Let the mass of particle B be \( m_B \) and its initial velocity be \( V_B \). 2. **Write the Initial Momentum**: - The total initial momentum \( P_i \) before the collision is given by: \[ P_i = m_A V_A + m_B V_B \] 3. **Write the Final Momentum**: - After the collision, the particles exchange their velocities. Thus, the final momentum \( P_f \) after the collision is: \[ P_f = m_A V_B + m_B V_A \] 4. **Apply Conservation of Momentum**: - According to the law of conservation of momentum, the total initial momentum is equal to the total final momentum: \[ P_i = P_f \] - Therefore, we can write: \[ m_A V_A + m_B V_B = m_A V_B + m_B V_A \] 5. **Rearrange the Equation**: - Rearranging the equation gives: \[ m_A V_A - m_A V_B = m_B V_A - m_B V_B \] - This can be rewritten as: \[ m_A (V_A - V_B) = m_B (V_A - V_B) \] 6. **Factor Out Common Terms**: - If \( V_A \neq V_B \), we can divide both sides by \( (V_A - V_B) \): \[ m_A = m_B \] 7. **Find the Ratio of Masses**: - Thus, the ratio of the masses \( \frac{m_A}{m_B} \) is: \[ \frac{m_A}{m_B} = 1 \] ### Conclusion: The ratio of the masses \( \frac{m_A}{m_B} \) is 1. ---
