A body moving towards a body of finite mass at rest collides with it. It is possible that |
|
a) |
Both bodies come to rest |
b) |
Both bodies move after collision |
c) |
The moving body stops and the body at rest starts moving |
d) |
The stationary body remains stationary and the moving body rebounds |
