Consider the collision depicted in the figure to be between two billiard balls with equal masses $m_{1} = m_{2}$. The first ball is called the cue, while the second ball is called the target. The billiard player wants to 'sink' the target ball in a corner pocket, which is at an angle $\theta_{2} = 37^{\circ}$. Assume that the collision is elastic and that friction and rotational motion are not important. Obtain $\theta_{1}$.

$Assertion$: $n$ small balls each of mass $m$ collide elastically each second on a surface with velocity $u$. The force experienced by the surface is $2mnu$.
$Reason$: On elastic collision,the ball rebounds with the same velocity.

$A$ 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. The loss of kinetic energy of the colliding body (mass $m$) is:

During an elastic collision between two bodies,which of the following statements are correct?
$I$. The initial kinetic energy is equal to the final kinetic energy of the system.
$II$. The linear momentum is conserved.
$III$. The kinetic energy during $\Delta t$ (the collision time) is not conserved.

Two identical spheres move in opposite directions with speeds $v_1$ and $v_2$ and pass behind an opaque screen,where they may either cross without touching (Event $1$) or make an elastic head-on collision (Event $2$).
