In the same direction

C

Together

D

At right angle to each other

Text Solution

A ball of mass m makes an elastic collision with another identical ball at rest. Show that if the collision is oblique, the bodies go at right angles to each other after collision.

A particle P moving with speed v undergoes a head -on elastic collision with another particle Q of identical mass but at rest. After the collision the collision

A ball of mass m moving with a velocity v undergoes an oblique elastic collision with another ball of the same mass m but at rest. After the collision if the two balls move with the same speeds , the angle between their directions of motion will be:
