    $v > \frac{2u}{3}$
  • B
    $v < \frac{u}{3}$
  • C
    $v = u$
  • D

$A$ body is moved from rest along a straight line by a machine delivering constant power. The ratio of displacement and velocity $(s/v)$ varies with time $t$ as :

$A$ ball of mass $10\, kg$ moving with a velocity $10 \sqrt{3} \, m/s$ along the $x$-axis,hits another ball of mass $20\, kg$ which is at rest. After the collision,the first ball comes to rest while the second ball disintegrates into two equal pieces. One piece starts moving along the $y$-axis with a speed of $10 \, m/s$. The second piece starts moving at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with respect to the $x$-axis. The velocity of the ball moving at $30^{\circ}$ with the $x$-axis is $x \, m/s$. The configuration of pieces after the collision is shown in the figure. The value of $x$ to the nearest integer is:
