$A$ 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):

  • A
    Zero
  • B
    $\frac{M}{M+m}u$
  • C
    $\left(\frac{m}{M+m}\right)u$
  • D
    $\frac{m}{M}u$

Two perfectly elastic particles $P$ and $Q$ of equal mass are travelling along the line joining them with velocities $15 \ m/s$ and $10 \ m/s$ respectively. After a perfectly elastic collision,their velocities (in $m/s$) will be:

$Assertion$ : In an elastic collision of two billiard balls,the total kinetic energy is conserved during the short time of oscillation of the balls (i.e.,when they are in contact).
$Reason$ : Energy spent against friction does not follow the law of conservation of energy.
