Two balls marked 1 and 2 of the same mass m and a third ball marked 3 of as shown in figure. Ball 1 moves with a velocity `v_(1)` towards ball 2 and 3. All collisions are assumed to be elastic.
If Mlt m, the number of collsions between the balls will be

A

1

B

2

C

3

D

4

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
After collision between 2 `&` 3 moves, 2 moves forward so only 2 collision.

Three balls A, B and C of same mass m are placed on a frictionless horizontal plane in a straight line as shown. Ball A is moved with velocity u towards the middle ball B . If all the collisions are elastic, find the final velocities of all the balls.

A ball A of mass M collides elastically with a similar ball B at rest as shown in figure. Initially velocity of ball A is u m/s. After collision,

Three identical balls, ball I, ball II and ball III are placed on a smooth floor on a straight line at the separation of 10m between balls as shown in figure. Initially balls are stationary. But I is given velocity of 10m//s towards ball II, collision between balls I and II is inelastic with coefficient of restitution 0.5 but collision between balls II and III is perfectly elastic. What is the time interval between two consecutive collisions between ball I and II?
