Three objects `A` ,` B` and `C` are kept in a straight line on a smooth horizontal surface. These have masses `m `, `2m` and `3 m` , respectively . The head - on elastic collision takes place between `A` and `B` and then `B` makes completely inelastic collision with `C`. All motions occur on the same straight line. The final speed of `C` will be

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
4

After the first collision.

`mv_(A)=mv_(A)^(')+2mv_(B)^(')`
`1=(v_(B)^(')-v_(A)^('))/(0-v_(A))`
`implies v_(B)^(')=6m//s`
After the second collision
`impliesv_(C)=(2/3)v_(B)^(')impliesv_(C)=4m//s`
