Explanation
Due to the same mass of A and B as well as due to elastic collision velocities of spheres get interchanged after the collision.
When target is very light and at rest then after head on elastic collision it moves with double speed of projectile i.e., the velocity of body of mass m will be 2v.
In head on elastic collision velocity get interchanged (if masses of particle arc equal) i.e., the last hail will move with the velocity of first ball i.e., 0.4 m/s.
In an inelastic collision, only momentum is conserved whereas in elastic collision both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved
Momentum of Earth-ball system remains conserved.
By the conservation of momentum in the absence of external force total momentum of the system (ball + earth) remains constant.
Gravitational forcc is a conservative force and work done against it is a point function i. e., does not depend on the path.
Because linear momentum is vector quantity where as kinetic energy is a scalar quantity.
If the masses are equal and target is at rest and after collision both masses moves in different direction. Then, angle between direction of velocity will be 900, if collision is elastic.
As the area above the time axis is numerically equal to area below the rime axis, therefore net momentum gained by body will be zero because momentum is a vector quantity.
