$A$ block of mass $4 m$ travelling at a velocity $v_1$ in the $x$-direction on a frictionless horizontal plane makes a head-on collision with another block of mass $2 m$ travelling in the opposite direction with a velocity $v_2$. After the collision,both blocks travel as a single block along the $x$-direction with a final velocity $5 v_2$. The ratio of velocities $\frac{v_1}{v_2}$ is

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $3$
  • C
    $5$
  • D
    $8$

$A$ body of mass $1\,kg$ falls freely from a height of $100\,m$ onto a platform of mass $3\,kg$ which is mounted on a spring having spring constant $k = 1.25 \times 10^6\,N/m.$ The body sticks to the platform and the spring's maximum compression is found to be $x.$ Given that $g = 10\,m/s^2,$ the value of $x$ will be close to ................ $cm$.

$A$ neutron of mass $1.67 \times 10^{-27} \ kg$ moving with a velocity of $10^8 \ m/s$ collides with a deuteron at rest and sticks to it. If the mass of the deuteron is $3.34 \times 10^{-27} \ kg$,what will be the velocity of the combined system?
