Question
A mass ‘m’ moves with a velocity v and collides inelastically with another identical mass. After collision, the 1st mass moves with velocity v/√3 in a direction perpendicular to the initial direction of motion. Find the speed of the 2nd mass after collision
-
v
-
√3 v
-
2v/√3
-
v/√3
Solution
C.
2v/√3
mv= mv1 cos = θ
