Question

Which one of the following statements does not hold good when two balls of masses m₁ and m₂ undergo elastic collision?

Options

• When m₁ < m₂ and m₂ are at rest, there will be a maximum transfer of momentum.

• When m₁ > m₂ andm2 at rest, kinetic energy will be conserved.

• When m₁ = m₂ and mi at rest, there will be a maximum transfer of E.

• When a collision is oblique and m2 at rest with m₁ = m₂ after the collision the ball moves in opposite directions.

Answer 1

When a collision is oblique and m2 at rest with m₁ = m₂ after the collision the ball moves in opposite directions.
