A particle of mass m makes a head-on elastic collision with a particle of mass 2m initially at rest. The velocity of the first particle before and after collision are given to be u_(1) and v_(1). Then which of the following statements is true in respect of this collision?

Answer»

For all values of `u_(1), v_(1)` will always be less than `u_(1)` in magnitude and `|v_(1)|=(u_(1))/3`
The fractional loss in KINETIC energy of the first PARTICLE is `8/9`
The gain in kinetic energy of the second particle is `8/9th` of the initial kinetic energy of the first particle
There is a net loss in the energy of the two

Solution :abc
Spring can be in the STATE of extension, compression, or natural length in equilibrium.
