$A$ particle of mass $M$ moving along the $X$-axis with speed $V_0$ collides with and sticks to another particle of mass $m$ moving along the $Y$-axis with speed $V_0$. What will be the velocity of the combined mass after the collision?

  • A
    $\frac{M\hat{i} + m\hat{j}}{M + m} V_0$
  • B
    $\frac{m\hat{i} + M\hat{j}}{M + m} V_0$
  • C
    $(m\hat{i} + M\hat{j}) V_0$
  • D
    $\frac{M\hat{i} + m\hat{j}}{M} V_0$

Two bodies $A$ and $B$ of mass $m$ and $2m$ respectively are placed on a smooth floor. They are connected by a spring of negligible mass. $A$ third body $C$ of mass $m$ is placed on the floor. The body $C$ moves with a velocity $v_0$ along the line joining $A$ and $B$ and collides elastically with $A$. At a certain time after the collision,it is found that the instantaneous velocities of $A$ and $B$ are the same and the compression of the spring is $x_0$. The spring constant $k$ will be

$A$ large block of wood of mass $M = 5.99 \, kg$ is hanging from two long massless cords. $A$ bullet of mass $m = 10 \, g$ is fired into the block and gets embedded in it.
