Problem

In a collinear collision, a particle with an initial speed

v_0

strikes a stationary particle of the same mass. If the final total kinetic energy is

50\%

greater than the original kinetic energy, the magnitude of the relative velocity between the two particles, after collision, is: (1)

\frac{v_0}{4}

(2)

\sqrt{2}v_0

(3)

\frac{v_0}{2}

(4)

\frac{v_0}{\sqrt{2}}
