Two bodies A and B of same mass undergo completely inelastic one-dimensional collision. The body A moves with velocity while body B is at rest before collision. The velocity of the system after collision is The ratio is:
To solve this problem, we will use the principle of conservation of momentum.Given:• Mass of body A • Mass of body B • Initial velocity of body A • Initial velocity of body B • Final velocity of both bodies after collision Since the collision is completely inelastic, the two bodies stick together after the collision.Using the conservation of momentum:Initial momentum Final momentumCancel from both sides:Thus, the ratio is:Therefore, the correct option is 4.
