On a frictionless surface, a blockof mass . Mmoving at speed v collides elastically with another blockof same mass M which is intiallyat rest /After collisionthe firstblockmoes at an angle thetato its initial direction and has a speed v/3 The second block's speed after the collision is :

Answer»

`(sqrt(3))/2v`
`(2sqrt(2))/3V`
`3/4` V
`3/(sqrt(2))v`

Solution :In elastic collision energy of system remainsconstant .
` :. ` Kinetic energy before collision = kinetic energy after collision
` :. 1/2 mv^(2)+0=1/2m (v/3)^(2) +1/2m(v)^(2)`
After collision , v is the SPEED of second block .
` :. v^(2) = (v^(2))/9+(v)^(2)`
` :. (9V^(2)-v^(2))/9 =(v)^(2)`
` :. (8v^(2))/9 = (v)^(2)`
` :. v = (2sqrt(2))/3 v `
