$A$ particle of mass $m$ moving horizontally with velocity $v_0$ strikes a smooth wedge of mass $M$,as shown in the figure. After the collision,the ball starts moving up the inclined face of the wedge and rises to a height $h$. Suppose the particle,when it reaches the horizontal surface again,has a velocity $v_1$ with respect to the ground,and the wedge has a velocity $v_2$. Choose the correct statement$(s)$.

  • A
    $mv_1 = Mv_2$
  • B
    $Mv_2 - mv_1 = mv_0$
  • C
    $v_1 + v_2 = v_0$
  • D
    Both $(B)$ and $(C)$

Statement $(I)$: The slope of the kinetic energy-displacement curve of a body in motion is directly proportional to its acceleration.
Statement $(II)$: From a height of $15 \ m$, a ball is projected vertically upwards with a velocity of $30 \ m/s$. If the ball rises to the same height after hitting the ground, the loss of its energy on hitting the ground is $30 \%$.
Statement $(III)$: The velocity acquired by a body of mass '$m$' after travelling a fixed distance from rest under the action of a constant force is directly proportional to mass '$m$'.
