$A$ body of mass $M$ moving at speed $V_{0}$ collides elastically with a mass $m$ at rest. After the collision,the two masses move at angles $\theta_{1}$ and $\theta_{2}$ with respect to the initial direction of motion of the body of mass $M$. The largest possible value of the ratio $M/m$,for which the angles $\theta_{1}$ and $\theta_{2}$ will be equal,is:

$A$ body of mass $m$ having an initial velocity $v$,makes a head-on collision with a stationary body of mass $M$. After the collision,the body of mass $m$ comes to rest and only the body having mass $M$ moves. This will happen only when:

$A$ body of mass $4\ kg$ collides head-on elastically with another body of mass $2\ kg$ kept at rest in free space. The time of collision is $0.02\ s$ and the average impulsive force acting on each body is $100\ N$. Find the velocity of the $2\ kg$ body after the impact. (in $m/s$)
