Which of the following potential energy curves in figure., cannot possibley describly describe the elastic collision of two billiard balls ? Here r is distance between centres of the balls. A. B. C. D. |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - C The potential energy of a system of two masses varies inversely as the distance (r) between them. i.e. `V(r)prop 1/r` When the two billiard balls touch each other potential energy becomes zero, i.e at r=R+R=2R,V(r)=0 Out of the given graphs, only curve (c ) satisfies these conditions. Therefore, all other curves cannot possibly describe the elastic collision of two billiard balls. |
