$A$ body $A$ of mass $4m$ moving with speed $u$ collides with another body $B$ of mass $2m$,which is at rest. The collision is head-on and elastic in nature. After the collision,the fraction of energy lost by the colliding body $A$ is

  • A
    $\frac{1}{9}$
  • B
    $\frac{8}{9}$
  • C
    $\frac{4}{9}$
  • D
    $\frac{5}{9}$

$A$ ball $A$ of mass $m$ moving along the positive $x$-direction with kinetic energy $K$ and momentum $p$ undergoes an elastic head-on collision with a stationary ball $B$ of mass $M$. After the collision,the ball $A$ moves along the negative $x$-direction with kinetic energy $K/9$. The final momentum of $B$ is:

The bob $A$ of a pendulum,released from a horizontal position to the vertical,hits another bob $B$ of the same mass at rest on a table as shown in the figure. If the length of the pendulum is $1\,m$,calculate:
$(a)$ The height to which bob $A$ will rise after the collision.
$(b)$ The speed with which bob $B$ starts moving.
Neglect the size of the bobs and assume the collision to be elastic.

The coefficient of restitution for a perfectly elastic collision is
