Three identical balls of mass m and radius R are placed on frictionless horizontal x-y plane. Ball A at (0, 0), Ball B at (
R, –
R). Ball A is suddenly given an impulse
. If collision between balls A and B is perfectly elastic while between B and C is head on and perfectly inelastic , then.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
(a, c)
Before first collision :
After first collision

After second collision

So V AC = V A – V C
=
+
