Three blocks are initially placed as shown in the figure. Block $A$ has mass $m$ and initial velocity $v$ to the right. Block $B$ with mass $m$ and block $C$ with mass $4m$ are both initially at rest. Neglect friction. All collisions are elastic. The final velocity of block $A$ is

  • A
    $0.6v$ to the left
  • B
    $1.4v$ to the left
  • C
    $0$ (at rest)
  • D
    $0.4v$ to the right

It is found that if a neutron suffers an elastic collinear collision with deuterium at rest,the fractional loss of its energy is $P_d$; while for its similar collision with a carbon nucleus at rest,the fractional loss of energy is $P_c$. The values of $P_d$ and $P_c$ are respectively:

$A$ ball is dropped from a height of $80 \ m$ on a surface which is at rest. Find the height attained by the ball after the $2^{nd}$ collision if the coefficient of restitution is $e = 0.5$.

$A$ steel ball of radius $2 \,cm$ is at rest on a frictionless surface. Another steel ball of radius $4 \,cm$ moving with velocity of $81 \,cm \,s^{-1}$ collides elastically with the ball which is at rest. After collision, the ball with radius of $2 \,cm$ moves with a speed of:

$A$ ball of mass $m$ moving with velocity $V$ makes a head-on elastic collision with a ball of the same mass moving with velocity $2V$ towards it. Taking the direction of $V$ as positive,the velocities of the two balls after the collision are:

$A$ ball of mass $1 \ kg$ moving along the $X$-direction collides elastically with a stationary ball of mass $m$. The first ball (mass $= 1 \ kg$) recoils at a right angle to its original direction of motion. If the second ball starts moving at an angle $30^{\circ}$ with the $X$-axis,the value of $m$ must be (in $kg$)
