Q. What happens to the velocity of a heavy body when it undergoes an elastic collision in one dimension with a very light body at rest?
✅ Correct Answer: (B)
it keeps on moving with the same velocity
Explanation: The heavy body keeps on moving with the same velocity when it undergoes an elastic collision in one dimension with a very light body at rest. Note: the body at rest starts moving with double the initial velocity of the heavy body.
