A mass m moves with a velocity v and collides elastically with another identical mass. After collision the first mass moves with velocity v /3 direction perpendicular to the initial direction of motion. Find the speed of the second mass after collision
 

a
v
b
3v
c
23v
d
V3

detailed solution

Correct option is C

In x-directionmv1+0=0+mvx  or  vx=v1=v In y-direction 0+0=mv3+mvy  or  vy=v3 ∴  Velocity of second mass after collision  v′=v32+v2=43v2=23v
