Questions  

Three particles A,B and C of equal masses move with equal speeds v along the medians of an equilateral triangle. They collide at the centroid O of the triangle. After collision A comes to rest while B retraces its path with speed v. The velocity of C is then

 

a
v, direction OA
b
2v, direction OA
c
2v, OB
d
v, direction BO

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Initial momentum of system is zero. So, final momentum should also be zero. Finally A comes to rest after collision, so to have final momentum zero, B and C should move in opposite directions.
