Q128 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2021 (05 Aug Shift 2) · Physics

An object A of mass 20 kg and travelling at 20 m s-1 crashes into another object B of mass 200 kg and travelling at 10 m s-1, in the same direction. After the collision, object A bounces back in opposite direction at a speed of 10 m s-1. The speed of the object B after the collision is

  • Correct answer
    A
    13 m s-1
  • B
    12 m s-1
  • C
    14 m s-1
  • D
    20 m s-1

Solution

Since net force in collision on the system is zero, so from conservation of momentum, we have
maua+mbub=mava+mbvb
⇒20×20+200×10=20×-10+200×vb
⇒2400=-200+200×vb
⇒vb=2600200=13 m s-1

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
