Q1:

A ball of mass 250 g moving on a smooth horizontal table with a velocity of 10 m/sec hits an identical stationary ball B on the table. If the impact is perfectly plastic, the velocity of the ball B just after impact would be

A zero

B 5 m/sec

C 10 m/sec

D none of these.

ANS:A - zero

Because of the plastic condition, the velocity of the Ball will be zero.
