NEET 2024 Physics Inelastic Collision MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

Two bodies A and B of same mass undergo completely inelastic one dimensional collision. The body A moves with velocity v1v_1 while body B is at rest before collision. The velocity of the system after collision is v2v_2. The ratio v1:v2v_1 : v_2 is:

A

4:1

B

1:4

C

1:2

D

2:1

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

In a completely inelastic collision, the bodies stick together. The momentum is conserved, so v1=2v2v_1 = 2v_2, giving a ratio of 4:1.
