The mass of the body that was moving faster before the collision is ________ that of other body.
As slope of x - t graph of one of bodies is zero before collision as well as after collision so the body moving first comes to rest after collision and as collision is elastic so masses are same.
Which line segment corresponds to the motion of the center of mass before and after the collision?
vcm is some intermediate between v1 and v2 and it will be same throughout the situation so its graph is 2 and 5.
