A particle of mass m moving with horizontal speed 6 m/sec as shown in figure. If 
then for one dimensional elastic collision, the speed of lighter particle after collision will be
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Substituting m 1 = 0, 
⇒ ⇒ 
i.e. the lighter particle will move in original direction with the speed of 2 m/s.
