A small metal bearing of mass m1=30 g, moving with a velocity of v1=25 m/s collides elastically with a huge sphere of mass 200 kg moving with a velocity of 3 m/s. What is the velocity of the small metal bearing after colliision?

Solution
The correct option is B19 m∕s opposite to the original direction Given:
Mass of small metal bearing;m1=30 g=30×10−3 kg
Mass of huge sphere; m2=200 kg
Initial velocity of small metal bearing ;u1=25 m/s
Initial velocity of huge sphere;u2=3 m/s
Let final velocity of small metal bearing be v1.
From the concept of collision we know v1=(m1−m2m1+m2)u1+2m2u2m1+m2 [Asm1m2<<<1] ⇒v1=−u1+2u2 =(−25+2×3) m/s =−19 m/s
Here −ve indicates that small bearing starts moving opposite to its original direction.
