$A$ ball of mass $m$ moving with speed $v$ collides elastically with an identical stationary ball which is initially at rest. After collision,the first ball moves at an angle $\theta$ to its initial direction and has speed $(v/3)$. The second ball moves in a straight line after the collision. Then,the speed of the second ball after the collision is:

  • A
    $\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} v$
  • B
    $\frac{2 \sqrt{2}}{3} v$
  • C
    $\frac{4}{3} v$
  • D
    $\frac{3}{\sqrt{2}} v$

$A$ block $A$ of mass $M$ moving with speed $u$ collides elastically with block $B$ of mass $m$ which is connected to block $C$ of mass $m$ with a spring. When the compression in the spring is maximum,the velocity of block $C$ with respect to block $A$ is (neglect friction):

Discuss elastic collision in two dimensions.

Which of the following potential energy curves in the figure cannot possibly describe the elastic collision of two billiard balls? Here $r$ is the distance between the centres of the balls.

$A$ body $A$ of mass $4m$ moving with speed $u$ collides with another body $B$ of mass $2m$,which is at rest. The collision is head-on and elastic in nature. After the collision,the fraction of energy lost by the colliding body $A$ is

Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$. Three identical spheres of same mass undergo one-dimensional motion as shown in the figure with initial velocities $v_{A} = 5 \ m/s$,$v_{B} = 2 \ m/s$,$v_{C} = 4 \ m/s$. If we wait sufficiently long for elastic collisions to happen,then $v_{A} = 4 \ m/s$,$v_{B} = 2 \ m/s$,$v_{C} = 5 \ m/s$ 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:
