Solution
The correct option is D 2.5 m/s , in opposite dirction of first ball Mass of the ball =m1 = 0.5kg, velocity of the ball = 5m/s Mass of the another ball m2=1kg Let it's velocity = v' m/s Using law of conservation of momentum, 0.5×5+1×v′=0⇒v′=−2.5 ∴ Velocity of second ball is 2.5m/s opposite to the direction of motion of 1st ball.
