$A$ 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:

Two small particles of equal masses start moving in opposite directions from a point $A$ in a horizontal circular orbit. Their tangential velocities are $v$ and $2v$,respectively,as shown in the figure. Between collisions,the particles move with constant speeds. After making how many elastic collisions,other than that at $A$,will these two particles again reach the point $A$?

In a scattering experiment,a particle of mass $2m$ collides with another particle of mass $m$,which is initially at rest. Assuming the collision to be perfectly elastic,the maximum angular deviation $\theta$ of the heavier particle,as shown in the figure,in radians is:
