A body of mass `M_(1)` collides elastically with another body of mass `M_(2)` at rest. There is maximum transfer of energy when

Options

A. `M_(1)gtM_(2)`
B. `M_(1)ltM_(2)`
C. `M_(1)=M_(2)`
D. same for all values of `M_(1)` and `M_(2)`

Answer

C

Explanation

When `M_(1)=M_(2)`, velocity are exchanged. So total energy of `M_(1)` is transfred to `M_(2)`
