$A$ point mass $M$ moving with a certain velocity collides with a stationary point mass $M / 2$. The collision is elastic and in one-dimension. Let the ratio of the final velocities of $M$ and $M / 2$ be $x$. The value of $x$ is

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $3$
  • C
    $1/2$
  • D
    $1/4$

$A$ light particle moving horizontally with a speed $v_1$ strikes a very heavy block moving in the same direction with a speed $v_2$. The collision is elastic. After the collision,the velocity of the particle is:

$A$ body of mass $m_1$ undergoes a perfectly elastic collision with a stationary body of mass $m_2$. If the velocity of mass $m_1$ becomes $1/1.5$ times its initial velocity,find the ratio $\frac{m_1}{m_2}$.

Consider the following statements $A$ and $B$ and identify the correct answer:
$A$. In an elastic collision,if a body suffers a head-on collision with another of the same mass at rest,then the first body comes to rest while the other starts moving with the velocity of the first one.
$B$. Two bodies of equal mass suffering a head-on elastic collision merely exchange their velocities.

$A$ ball of mass $m$ collides elastically with an identical ball at rest with some impact parameter.

$A$ body of mass $m$ is at rest. Another body of the same mass moving with velocity $V$ makes a head-on elastic collision with the first body. After the collision,the first body starts to move with velocity:
