A body of mass m moving with velocity `vecV` collides elastically with another body B of same mass which is at rest. What will be the velocities of A and B after collision?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

In elastic collision, when two equal mass collide with each other then they exchange their speed. Hence after collision, body A comes to rest and body B starts moving with the velocity `vacv`.
