Body $A$ of mass $4m$ moving with speed $u$ collides with another body $B$ of mass $2m$ 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
    $\frac{5}{9}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{9}$
  • C
    $\frac{8}{9}$
  • D
    $\frac{4}{9}$

$A$ block of mass $m$ slides with speed $v$ on a frictionless table towards another stationary block of mass $m$. $A$ massless spring with spring constant $k$ is attached to the second block as shown in the figure. The maximum distance the spring gets compressed is

Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$. Three identical spheres of same mass undergo one-dimensional motion as shown in the figure with initial velocities $v_{A} = 5 \ m/s$,$v_{B} = 2 \ m/s$,$v_{C} = 4 \ m/s$. If we wait sufficiently long for elastic collisions to happen,then $v_{A} = 4 \ m/s$,$v_{B} = 2 \ m/s$,$v_{C} = 5 \ m/s$ will be the final velocities.
Reason $(R)$: In an elastic collision between identical masses,two objects exchange their velocities. In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

$A$ body of mass $m$ moving with velocity $v$ makes a head-on elastic collision with another body of mass $2m$ which is initially at rest. What is the loss in kinetic energy of the colliding body?
