Three particles $A, B$,and $C$ of equal mass move with speed $V$ as shown to strike at the centroid of an equilateral triangle. After the collision,$A$ comes to rest and $B$ retraces its path with speed $V$. The speed of $C$ after the collision is:

  • A
    $2V$
  • B
    $V$
  • C
    $V/3$
  • D
    None

$A$ particle $P$ is sliding down a frictionless hemispherical bowl. It passes the point $A$ at $t = 0$. At this instant of time, the horizontal component of its velocity is $v$. $A$ bead $Q$ of the same mass as $P$ is ejected from $A$ at $t = 0$ along the horizontal string $AB$ (see figure) with the speed $v$. Friction between the bead and the string may be neglected. Let ${t_P}$ and ${t_Q}$ be the respective time taken by $P$ and $Q$ to reach the point $B$. Then

$A$ block of mass $m$ moving with a velocity $v_0$ on a smooth horizontal surface strikes and compresses a spring of stiffness $k$ until the mass comes to rest,as shown in the figure. This phenomenon is observed by two observers:
$A$: standing on the horizontal surface
$B$: standing on the block
According to observer $B$,the potential energy of the spring increases:

$A$ dumbbell consisting of two masses $m$ each,connected by a light rigid rod of length $l$,falls from a height $h$ onto two pads of equal height,one steel and the other brass. The coefficients of restitution are $e_1$ and $e_2$ $(e_1 < e_2)$. To what maximum height will the centre of mass of the dumbbell rise after bouncing off the pads?

$A$ body of mass $m_1$ moving with an unknown velocity $v_1 \hat{i}$ undergoes a one-dimensional collision with a body of mass $m_2$ moving with velocity $v_2 \hat{i}$. After the collision,the bodies $m_1$ and $m_2$ move with velocities $v_3 \hat{i}$ and $v_4 \hat{i}$ respectively. If $m_2 = 0.5\, m_1$ and $v_3 = 0.5\, v_1$,find $v_1$.
