Two identical balls $A$ and $B$ of equal mass $m$ are lying on a smooth surface as shown in the figure. If ball $A$ hits ball $B$ at rest with a velocity $16 \,ms^{-1}$,then the coefficient of restitution $e$ between $A$ and $B$ so that $B$ just reaches the highest point of the smooth inclined plane of height $5 \,m$ is $\left(g=10 \,ms^{-2}\right)$

  • A
    $\frac{2}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{3}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{4}$

An electron collides with a free molecule initially in its ground state. The collision leaves the molecule in an excited state that is metastable and does not decay to the ground state by radiation. Let $K$ be the sum of the initial kinetic energies of the electron and the molecule,and $p$ be the sum of their initial momenta. Let $K^{\prime}$ and $p^{\prime}$ represent the same physical quantities after the collision. Then,
