Q116 / 125 · BITSAT 2016 · Physics

Consider elastic collision of a particle of mass m moving with a velocity u with another particle of the same mass at rest. After the collision the projectile and the struck particle move in directions making angles $\theta_{1}$ and $\theta_{2}$ respectively with the initial direction of motion. The sum of the angles $\theta_{1}+\theta_{2},$ is :

  • A
    $45^{\circ}$
  • Correct answer
    B
    $90^{\circ}$
  • C
    $135^{\circ}$
  • D
    $180^{\circ}$

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