Consider the elastic collision of two bodies A and B of equal mass. Initially B is at rest and A moves with velocity u. After the collision :

A

the body A tracks, its path back with the same speed

B

the body A comes to rest and B moves aways in the direction of A' is approach with the velocity `v`

C

both the bodies stick together and are rest

D

B moves with velocity `v//2` and A retraces its path with velocity `v//2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

When two equal mass collide elastically then velocities get interchange
