The steps in collision
Question

 

The bob A of a simple pendulum is released when the string makes an angle of 45° with the vertical. It hits another bob B of the same material and same  mass kept at rest on a table. If the collision is elastic, which of the following statement is correct?

Moderate
Solution

Due to the same mass of A and B as well as due to elastic collision, velocities of spheres get interchanged after the
collision. So, A comes to rest and B moves with the velocity of A
