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

 

a
2v3
b
v3
c
v
d
3v

detailed solution

Correct option is A

In – x direction   mv2cosθ  =mv --- (1)In – y direction   mv2sinθ=mv3   --- (2)Squaring and adding (1) and (2)v2  = 2v/3
