Q8.8Multiple choice
Particles of masses 2M, m and M are respectively at points A, B and C with AB = ½ (BC). m is much-much smaller than M and at time t = 0, they are all at rest (Fig. 8.1). At subsequent times before any collision takes place: A B C 2M m M Fig. 8.1
This question refers to a figure in the original PDF.
- (a)m will remain at rest.
- (b)m will move towards M.
- (c)m will move towards 2M.
- (d)m will have oscillatory motion.
