Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Three identical spheres of the same mass undergo one-dimensional motion as shown in the figure with initial velocities . If we wait sufficiently long for elastic collision to happen, then will be the final velocities.
Reason (R): In an elastic collision between identical masses, two objects exchange their velocities.
In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- A
Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A)
- B
(A) is true but (R) is false
- C
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
- D
(A) is false but (R) is true
