Q95 / 180 · NEET 2016 (Phase 2) · Physics

Two identical balls A and B having velocities of 0.5 m s-1 and -0.3 m s-1, respectively, collide elastically in one dimension. The velocities of B and A after the collision, respectively, will be

  • A
    -0.5 m s-1 and 0.3 m s-1
  • Correct answer
    B
    0.5 m s-1 and -0.3 m s-1
  • C
    -0.3 m s-1 and 0.5 m s-1
  • D
    0.3 m s-1 and 0.5 m s-1

Solution

They will exchange their velocities, so,

vB=0.5 m s-1 and vA=-0.3 m s-1.

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