Question

Velocity (m/s) Block 1 Blocks 1 and 2 +4.0 +1.0F-e Time (s) k Block 2 system during the time shown? The center of mass moves at a constant velocity of +1.0 m/s because there is no friction acting on the system. O O The center-of-mass velocity increases as the blocks get closer together, and then becomes constant after the collision. The center-of-mass velocity starts out greater than +1.0 m/s but decreases to -1.0 m/s during the collision because the collision is inelastic. The center of mass does not move because the blocks are moving in opposite directions before the collision.

Explanation / Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

because, initial velocity of center of mass is 1.5 m/s

But after the collision both blocks move with same velocity .e 1m/s . It means the collision is inelastic.
