A) \[\frac{{{r}_{1}}-{{r}_{2}}}{\left| {{r}_{1}}-{{r}_{2}} \right|}=\frac{{{v}_{2}}-{{v}_{1}}}{\left| {{v}_{3}}-{{v}_{1}} \right|}\]
B) \[{{r}_{1}}\cdot {{v}_{1}}={{r}_{2}}\cdot {{v}_{2}}\]
C) \[{{r}_{1}}\times {{v}_{1}}={{r}_{2}}\times {{v}_{2}}\]
D) \[{{r}_{1}}-{{r}_{2}}={{v}_{1}}-{{v}_{2}}\]
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
For two particles A and B move with constant velocities \[{{v}_{1}}\] and\[{{v}_{2}}\]. Such that two particles to collide, the direction of the relative velocity of one with respect to other should be directed towards the relative position of the other particle. i.e. \[\frac{{{r}_{1}}-{{r}_{2}}}{\left| {{r}_{1}}-{{r}_{2}} \right|}\xrightarrow{\,}\] direction of relative position of 1 w.r.t 2: Similarly, \[\frac{{{v}_{1}}-{{v}_{2}}}{\left| {{v}_{1}}-{{v}_{2}} \right|}\xrightarrow{\,}\] direction of velocity of 2 w.r.t 1 So, for collision of A and B, we get \[\frac{{{r}_{1}}-{{r}_{2}}}{\left| {{r}_{1}}-{{r}_{2}} \right|}\frac{{{v}_{2}}-{{v}_{1}}}{\left| {{v}_{2}}-{{v}_{1}} \right|}\] Alternate Method As resultant displacement of a particle, \[R={{r}_{1}}+{{v}_{1}}t={{r}_{2}}+{{v}_{2}}t\] i.e. \[{{r}_{1}}-{{r}_{2}}=({{v}_{2}}-{{v}_{1}})t\] So, \[\frac{{{r}_{1}}-{{r}_{2}}}{\left| {{r}_{1}}-{{r}_{2}} \right|}=\frac{({{v}_{2}}-{{v}_{1}})t}{\left| {{v}_{2}}-{{v}_{1}} \right|t}\] \[\frac{{{r}_{1}}-{{r}_{2}}}{\left| {{r}_{1}}-{{r}_{2}} \right|}=\frac{({{v}_{2}}-{{v}_{1}})}{\left| {{v}_{2}}-{{v}_{1}} \right|}\]You need to login to perform this action.
