Three particles A, B and C of equal mass...

Three particles A, B and C of equal mass move with equal speed V along the medians of an equilateral triangle as shown in hgure. They collide at the centroid G of the triangle. After the collision, A comes to test, B retraces its path with the speed V. What is the velocity of C ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`vec(v)_(c ) = -vec(v)_(B)`
COLM : implies that `vec(v)_(C )` & `vec(v)_(B)` are opposite to each other.
