A steel ball o mass suffers one-dimensional elastic collision with a row of three steel balls, each of mass If mass has collided with velocity and the three balls numbered 1, 2, 3 were initially at rest, then after the collision
a) |
Balls 1, 2 and 3 would start moving to the right, each with velocity |
b) |
Balls 2 and 3 would start moving to the right, each with velocity |
c) |
Balls 2 and 3 would start moving to the right, each with velocity |
d) |
Ball 1 and ball of mass would remain at rest |

(c,d) In option (a), neither momentum nor kinetic energy is conserved so collision is not elastic. Hence, option (a), is not correct b. Same difficulty lies with option (b). So, only options (c) and (d) are correct |
