Collisions
Question

A body A, of mass m= 0.1kg has an initial velocity of 3ims1 . It collides elastically with another body, B of the same mass which has an initial velocity of  5jms1 . After collision, A moves with a velocity v=4i+j . The energy of B after collision is written as x10J . the value of x is _________

Moderate
Solution

Since collision is elastic   ,  initial K.E.= final K.E
 120.19+120.125=120.142+422+K.EB
 K.EB=120.13432 =0.1 J               So, X10=0.1                  X=1
