$A$ particle of mass $m$ moving with velocity $u$ makes an elastic one-dimensional collision with a stationary particle of mass $m$. They are in contact for a very short time $T$. Their force of interaction increases from zero to $F_0$ linearly in time $T/2$, and decreases linearly to zero in further time $T/2$. The magnitude of $F_0$ is

  • A
    $mu/T$
  • B
    $2mu/T$
  • C
    $mu/2T$
  • D
    None of these

$A$ 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:

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: Body $P$ having mass $M$ moving with speed $u$ has a head-on elastic collision with another body $Q$ having mass $m$ initially at rest. If $m << M$,body $Q$ will have a maximum speed equal to $2u$ after the collision.
Reason $R$: During an elastic collision,the momentum and kinetic energy are both conserved.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Collision takes place between two solid spheres denoted as $1$ and $2$. The initial velocities of the spheres are $u_1 = 3 \ m/s$ and $u_2 = 1.5 \ m/s$,and the final velocities are $v_1 = 2.5 \ m/s$ and $v_2 = 3.5 \ m/s$. The coefficient of restitution between the materials of the spheres is nearly:

$A$ body of mass $8 \ kg$ moving with a certain velocity collides elastically with another body of mass $2 \ kg$ at rest. If $E$ is the initial kinetic energy of the moving mass,what will be the remaining kinetic energy of the moving mass after the collision (in $E$)?
