Question
A particle of mass m is moving along the x-axis with speed v when it collides with a particle of mass 2m initially at rest. After the collision, the first particle has come to rest and the second particle has split into two equal-mass pieces that are shown in the figure. Which of the following statements correctly describes the speeds of the two pieces? ( > 0)
- Each piece moves with speed v
- Each piece moves with speed v/2
- One of the pieces moves with speed v/2, the other moves with speed greater than v/2
- Each piece moves with speed greater than v/2.
The correct answer is: Each piece moves with speed greater than v/2.
