. A body moving towards a finite body at rest collides with it. It is possible that

A body moving towards a finite body at rest collides with it. It is possible that
(A) both the bodies move after collision
(B) both the bodies come to rest
(C) the stationary body remains stationary, the moving body changes its velocity
(D) the moving body comes to rest and the stationary body starts moving.

 

Best Answer

Ans-(A) both the bodies move after collision

(B) both the bodies come to rest

 When a body collides with a finite body at resty, both the bodies cannot come to rest. Neither the stationary body can remain stationary as momentum of the two bodies is shared and conserved.
