    A particle of mass m moving with velocity u makes an elastic one dimensional collision with a stationary particle of mass m. They are in contact for a short time T. Their force of interaction increases from zero to \[{{F}_{0}}\] linearly in time \[\frac{T}{2}\] and decreases linearly to zero in further time \[\frac{T}{2}\] (shown in figure). The magnitude of \[{{F}_{0}}\] is

    A)  \[mu/2T\]       

    B)  mu/T

    C)  2mu/T        

    D)  None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    In elastic one dimensional collision particle rebounds with same speed in opposite direction. So, change in momentum = 2 mu But, impulse \[=F\times T=\] Change in momentum \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{F}_{0}}\times T=2\,mu\] or \[{{F}_{0}}=\frac{2mu}{T}\]
