JEE Main & Advanced Physics Work, Energy, Power & Collision / कार्य, ऊर्जा और शक्ति Question Bank Perfectly Inelastic Collision

  • question_answer
    A body of mass \[{{m}_{1}}\]is moving with a velocity V. It collides with another stationary body of mass \[{{m}_{2}}.\] They get embedded. At the point of collision, the velocity of the system       [DCE 1999, 2001]

    A)             Increases

    B)             Decreases but does not become zero

    C)             Remains same

    D)             Become zero

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    By momentum conservation before and after collision. \[{{m}_{1}}V+{{m}_{2}}\times 0=({{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}})v\] Þ \[v=\frac{{{m}_{1}}}{{{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}}V\] i.e. Velocity of system is less than V.
