Types of collision
Question

Two identical balls “A” and “B” having velocities of 0.5 ms-1 and -0.3 ms-1 respectively collide elastically in one dimension. The velocities of B and  A after the collision respectively will be

Easy
Solution

 Masses of the balls are same and collision is elastic, so their velocity will be interchanged after collision.

vA=+uB=-0.3 m s-1and vB=uA=0.5 m s-1
