PhysicsSystems of Particles and Rotational MotionJEE Main

A body of mass 5 kg moving with a velocity 10 m/s collides with another body of mass 20 kg at rest, and comes to rest due to the collision. The velocity of the second body due to collision is

Answer: (A)

Solution

By conservation of momentum: 5(10) + 20(0) = 5(0) + 20(v) ⟹ v = 50/20 = 2.5 m/s.
