Two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ moving with velocities $v_1$ and $v_2$ in opposite directions collide elastically and after collision masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ move with velocity $v_2$ and $v_1$ respectively. The ratio $\left(\frac{m_2}{m_1}\right)$ is
  1. $0.75$
  2. $1$
  3. $1.5$
  4. $1.25$

Solution

If the bodies of equal mass collide then they exchange their respective velocities. .
