A particle of massmis moving with speed2vand collides with a mass2mmoving with speedvin the same direction. After the collision, the first mass is stopped completely while the second one splits into two particles each of massm,which move at an angle45owith respect to the original direction. The speed of each of the moving particle will be

Question diagram: A particle of mass m is moving with speed 2 v and collides w

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:



As2msplits into equal parts,v1=v2andθ=450
From conservation of linear momentum,
m2v+2mv=2mv1cos45o
v1=v2=22v
