Two masses $m_A$ and $m_B$ moving with velocities $v_A$ and $v_B$ in opposite directions collide elastically. After the collision,the masses $m_A$ and $m_B$ move with velocities $v_B$ and $v_A$ respectively. The ratio $\frac{m_A}{m_B} = $

  • A
    $1$
  • B
    $\frac{v_A - v_B}{v_A + v_B}$
  • C
    $(m_A + m_B)/m_A$
  • D
    $v_A/v_B$

Consider an elastic collision of a particle of mass $m$ moving with velocity $u$ with another particle of the same mass $m$ at rest. After the collision, the particles move at angles $\theta_1$ and $\theta_2$ with respect to the initial direction of motion. What is the sum of the angles $\theta_1 + \theta_2$ in degrees?

$A$ body of mass $8 \ kg$ moving with a certain velocity collides elastically with another body of mass $2 \ kg$ at rest. If $E$ is the initial kinetic energy of the moving mass,what will be the remaining kinetic energy of the moving mass after the collision (in $E$)?

As per the given figure,a small ball $P$ slides down the quadrant of a circle and hits another ball $Q$ of equal mass which is initially at rest. Neglecting the effect of friction and assuming the collision to be elastic,the velocity of ball $Q$ after the collision will be $............\,m/s$ $(g = 10\,m/s^2)$.

$A$ ball after falling from a height of $10 \ m$ strikes the roof of a lift which is descending with a velocity of $1 \ m/s$. The recoil velocity of the ball will be ............. $m/s$. (Assume elastic collision)

Consider the following statements $A$ and $B$ and identify the correct answer:
$A$. In an elastic collision,if a body suffers a head-on collision with another of the same mass at rest,then the first body comes to rest while the other starts moving with the velocity of the first one.
$B$. Two bodies of equal mass suffering a head-on elastic collision merely exchange their velocities.
