Type: MCQ-diagram based-Medium-Class 11

In the diagram shown above, two billiard balls of equal mass undergo a collision. If the initial velocity of the cue ball is 5 m/s and it comes to rest after the collision, what is the final velocity of the target ball?

Question diagram
A

5 m/s

B

0 m/s

C

2.5 m/s

D

10 m/s

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

In an elastic collision with equal masses, the cue ball transfers all its velocity to the target ball. Thus, the target ball will have a final velocity of 5 m/s.
