    A body of mass \[{{m}_{1}}\] collides elastically with another body of mass \[{{m}_{2}}\] at rest. If the velocity of \[{{m}_{1}}\] after collision becomes \[2/3\] times its initial velocity, the ratio of their masses, is

    A)  \[1:5\]         

    B)  \[5:1\]

    C)  \[5:2\]         

    D)  \[2:5\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    In elastic collision \[{{v}_{1}}=\left( \frac{{{m}_{1}}-{{m}_{2}}}{{{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}} \right){{u}_{1}}+\left( \frac{2{{m}_{2}}}{{{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}} \right){{u}_{2}}\] If the second ball is at rest, ie, \[{{u}_{2}}=0,\] then \[{{v}_{1}}=\left( \frac{{{m}_{1}}-{{m}_{2}}}{{{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}} \right){{u}_{1}}\] Given,     \[{{v}_{1}}=\frac{2}{3}{{u}_{1}}\] \[\frac{2}{3}{{u}_{1}}=\left( \frac{{{m}_{1}}-{{m}_{2}}}{{{m}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}} \right){{u}_{1}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[2{{m}_{1}}+2{{m}_{2}}=3{{m}_{1}}-3{{m}_{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{m}_{1}}=5{{m}_{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{{{m}_{1}}}{{{m}_{2}}}=\frac{5}{1}\]
