Question

A molecule capable of vibrations is modeled as two point atoms of mass M each connected by a spring. Initially molecule is not vibrating when it collides elastically with a single atom of mass M as shown in figure. Mark the Correct option(s) :

Velocity of centre of mass of molecule after collision is v02.

Velocity of atom after collision is 2v0.

Velocity of centre of mass of system consisting of atom and molecules is 2v03.

Maximum energy stored in spring after collision is Mv024.

vc=2Mv03M

12kxmax=212μvrel2=12×2 m2×v0=2mv024

vc'=mv02 m=v02.
