STATEMENT-1 : A sphere of mass m moving with speed u undergoes a perfectly elastic head on collision with another sphere of heavier mass M at rest (M > m), then direction of velocity of sphere of mass m is reversed due to collision [no external force acts on system of two spheres]
STATEMENT-2 : During a collision of spheres of unequal masses, the heavier mass exerts more force on lighter mass in comparison to the force which lighter mass exerts on heavier mass.
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
NOT AVAILABLE
Statement-2 contradicts Newton's third law and hence is false.
