NEET Physics Angular Momentum MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-diagram based-Easy-Class 11
Consider a collision scenario between two identical masses, m1 and m2, m1 being the cue ball and m2 the target ball, as depicted in a hypothetical diagram. Which of the following variables is essential to determine the final velocities v1f and v2f of the balls post-collision, assuming the angle θ1 is given?
A
Initial velocity of the cue ball, v1i
B
Mass of the target ball, m2
C
Collision time, Δt
D
Angle θ2 after collision
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
To solve for the final velocities in a collision scenario, θ1 and the initial velocity of the cue ball, v1i, are essential. These are used with the conservation equations to determine v1f, v2f, and θ2.
