Answer :
Answer:
120°
Explanation:
given,
mass of two objects are same , Let it be m
speed of both the objects = v
after inelastic collision the
mass are moving with velocity = v/2
let the angle between them be θ₁ and θ₂
writing the equation along y-axis
m v sinθ₁ - m v sinθ₂ = 0
m v sinθ₁ = m v sinθ₂
θ₁ = θ₂ = θ
writing the equation along x- axis
m v cos θ + m v cos θ = 2 m V
v cos θ = v/2
[tex]cos\theta = \dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\theta = cos^{-1}(\dfrac{1}{2})[/tex]
[tex]\theta = 60^0[/tex]
angle between the two objects = 2 θ
= 2 x 60° = 120°
