After a head-on elastic collision between two balls of equal masses,one is observed to have a speed of $3 \, m/s$ along the positive $x$-axis and the other has a speed of $2 \, m/s$ along the negative $x$-axis. The original velocities of the balls are:

  • A
    $-2 \, m/s$ and $+3 \, m/s$
  • B
    $+2 \, m/s$ and $+3 \, m/s$
  • C
    $-3 \, m/s$ and $+2 \, m/s$
  • D
    $+3 \, m/s$ and $-2 \, m/s$

Two balls $A$ and $B$,of masses $M$ and $2M$ respectively,collide with each other. If ball $A$ moves with a speed of $150 \ m \ s^{-1}$ and collides with ball $B$ moving with speed $v$ in the opposite direction,and after the collision ball $A$ comes to rest with the coefficient of restitution being $1$,then the speed of ball $B$ before it collides with ball $A$ is: (in $m \ s^{-1}$)

$A$ smooth sphere $A$ is moving on a frictionless horizontal plane with angular speed $\omega$ and center of mass with velocity $v$.
