Q.

Two bodies A and B of same mass undergo completely inelastic one dimensional collision. The body A moves with velocity v1 while body B is at rest before collision. The velocity of the system after collision is v2. The ratio v1:v2 is                [2024]
 

1 1 : 2  
2 2 : 1  
3 4 : 1  
4 1 : 4  

Ans.

(2)

Given, mA=mB=m, uA=v1, uB=0

In completely inelastic collision when two bodies have same mass and one is at rest, then after collision they stick together and move with common velocity v2.

By conservation of momentum,

mAuA+mBuB=(mA+mB)v2

mv1+0=2mv2

    v1v2= 2
