    A body of mass \[M\] moves with velocity \[v\] and collides elastically with another body of mass \[m(M>\,\,>m)\] at rest then the velocity of body of mass \[m\] is

    A) \[v\]                                     

    B) \[2\,\,v\]

    C) \[v/2\]                                 

    D) \[zero\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    From law of conservation of linear momentum                 \[{{m}_{1}}{{u}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}{{u}_{2}}={{m}_{1}}{{v}_{1}}+{{m}_{2}}{{v}_{2}}\]                 \[M\times \varpi \upsilon +m\times 0=M\times {{\upsilon }_{1}}+m{{v}_{2}}\]                 \[Mv=M{{v}_{1}}+m{{v}_{2}}\]                  ? (1)                 \[M(v-{{v}_{1}})=m{{v}_{2}}\] In elastic collision kinetic energy is also conserved \[\frac{1}{2}{{m}_{1}}u_{1}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}{{m}_{2}}u_{2}^{2}=\frac{1}{2}{{m}_{1}}v_{1}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}{{m}_{2}}v_{2}^{2}\]                 \[M{{v}^{2}}=Mv_{1}^{2}+mv_{2}^{2}\]                 \[M(v+{{v}_{1}})(v-{{v}_{1}})=mv_{2}^{2}\]                        ... (2) Dividing eq (2) by (1), we get                 \[v+{{v}_{1}}\simeq {{v}_{2}}\] as            \[M>\,\,>m\] so,          \[{{v}_{1}}\simeq v\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{v}_{2}}=2v\]
