Pick up the correct statement from the following :
A)
If two equal and perfectly elastic smooth spheres impinge directly, they interchange their velocities.
B)
If a smooth sphere impinges on another sphere, which is at rest, the latter will move along the line of centres.
C)
If two equal spheres which are perfectly elastic impinge at right angles, their direction after impact will still be at right angles.
D)
All of the above

Correct Answer :   All of the above


Explanation : * If two equal and perfectly elastic smooth spheres impinge directly, they interchange their velocities.
* If a smooth sphere impinges on another sphere, which is at rest, the latter will move along the line of centres.
* If two equal spheres which are perfectly elastic impinge at right angles, their direction after impact will still be at right angles.
* If a sphere impinges directly on an equal sphere which is at rest, then a fraction (1 - e2) the original kinetic energy is lost by the impact.
