A body of massm1moving with an unknown velocity ofv1 i^, undergoes a collinear collision with a body of massm2moving with a velocityv2 i^.After the collision,m1andm2move with velocities ofv3 i^andv4 i^,respectively. Ifm2=0.5 m1andv3=0.5 v1,thenv1is:

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

From the conservation of linear momentum,
m1v1+m2v2=m1v3+m2v4
m1v1+0.5 m1 v2=m10.5 v1+0.5 m1 v4
0.5 v1+0.5 v2=0.5 v4
v4=v1+v2
v1=v4-v2
