Center of Mass and Collision · Physics · JEE Main

Three equal masses $m$ are kept at vertices $(A, B, C)$ of an equilateral triangle of side a in free space. At $t=0$, they are given an initial velocity $\overrightarrow{V_A}=V_0 \overrightarrow{A C}, \overrightarrow{V_B}=V_0 \overrightarrow{B A}$ and $\overrightarrow{V_C}=V_0 \overrightarrow{C B}$. Here, $\overrightarrow{A C}, \overrightarrow{C B}$ and $\overrightarrow{B A}$ are unit vectors along the edges of the triangle. If the three masses interact gravitationally, then the magnitude of the net angular momentum of the system at the point of collision is :

Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).

Assertion (A): Three identical spheres of same mass undergo one dimensional motion as shown in figure with initial velocities $v_{\mathrm{A}}=5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}, v_{\mathrm{B}}=2 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}, v_{\mathrm{C}}=4 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$. If we wait sufficiently long for elastic collision to happen, then $v_{\mathrm{A}}=4 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}, v_{\mathrm{B}}=2 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$, $v_{\mathrm{C}}=5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ will be the final velocities.

Reason (R): In an elastic collision between identical masses, two objects exchange their velocities.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
