JEE MAIN - Physics (2021 - 27th July Morning Shift - No. 5)

Three objects A, B and C are kept in a straight line on a frictionless horizontal surface. The masses of A, B and C are m, 2m and 2m respectively. A moves towards B with a speed of 9 m/s and makes an elastic collision with it. Thereafter B makes a completely inelastic collision with C. All motions occur along same straight line. The final speed of C is :

6 m/s
9 m/s
4 m/s
3 m/s

Explanation

Collision between A and B

JEE Main 2021 (Online) 27th July Morning Shift Physics - Center of Mass and Collision Question 45 English Explanation 1
m $$\times$$ 9 = mv1 + 2mv2 (from momentum conservation)

$$e = 1 = {{{v_2} - {v_1}} \over 9}$$

$$\Rightarrow$$ v2 = 6 m/sec. v1 = $$-$$3 m/sec.

collision between B and C

JEE Main 2021 (Online) 27th July Morning Shift Physics - Center of Mass and Collision Question 45 English Explanation 2
2m $$\times$$ 6 = 4mv (from momentum conservation)

v = 3 m/s
