Question

A 8kg mass at 12m/s collides elastically with an identical stationary mass. What is the speed of the second mass after collision?

Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

Explanation

For elastic collision, momentum and kinetic energy conserved: m1v1+m2v2=m1v1'+m2v2' and ½m1v1²+... per NCERT. Solving gives velocities matching 12 m/s. Inelastic loses energy. So option C is correct.
