5.Work, Energy, Power and Collision
normal
Four smooth steel balls of equal mass at rest are free to move along a straight line without friction. The first ball is given a velocity of $0.4\, m/s$. It collides head on with the second elastically, the second one similarly with the third and so on. The velocity of the last ball is .............. $\mathrm{m}/ \mathrm{s}$
A
$0.4$
B
$0.2$
C
$0.1$
D
$0.05$
Solution
In head on elastic collision velocity get interchanged (if masses of particle are equal), i.e. the last ball will move with the velocity of first ball i.e. $0.4\, m/s$
