Two bodies $A$ and $B$ of same mass undergo a completely inelastic one-dimensional collision. The body $A$ moves with velocity $v_1$ while body $B$ is at rest before the collision. The velocity of the system after the collision is $v_2$. The ratio $v_1: v_2$ is

  • A
    $2: 1$
  • B
    $4: 1$
  • C
    $1: 4$
  • D
    $1: 2$

Which of the following is not an example of a perfectly inelastic collision?

$A$ body of mass $3 \ kg$ moving with a velocity $(2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}) \ m/s$ collides with another body of mass $4 \ kg$ moving with a velocity $(3 \hat{i}+2 \hat{j}-3 \hat{k}) \ m/s$. The two bodies stick together after collision. The velocity of the composite body is

$A$ body of mass $3 \,kg$ is moving with a velocity of $8 \,ms^{-1}$ collides head-on with another body of mass $1 \,kg$, moving in the opposite direction with a velocity of $4 \,ms^{-1}$. After the collision, if the two bodies stick together and move, they move with a common velocity: (in $\,ms^{-1}$)
