Which one of the following statements does not hold true when two balls of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ undergo an elastic collision?

  • A
    When $m_1 \ll m_2$ and $m_2$ is at rest,there will be maximum transfer of momentum.
  • B
    When $m_1 \gg m_2$ and $m_2$ is at rest,after collision the ball of mass $m_2$ moves with four times the velocity of $m_1$.
  • C
    When the collision is oblique and $m_2$ is at rest with $m_1 = m_2$,after collision the balls move in opposite directions.
  • D
    $(b)$ and $(c)$ both.

$A$ block of mass $m$ slides from rest at a height $H$ on a frictionless inclined plane as shown in the figure. It travels a distance $d$ across a rough horizontal surface with coefficient of kinetic friction $\mu$ and compresses a spring of spring constant $k$ by a distance $x$ before coming to rest momentarily. Then the spring extends and the block travels back attaining a final height of $h$. Then,

Two identical blocks $A$ and $B$, each of mass $m$, resting on a smooth floor, are connected by a light spring of natural length $L$ and spring constant $k$. The spring is at its natural length. $A$ third identical block $C$ (mass $m$) moving with a speed $v$ along the line joining $A$ and $B$ collides with $A$. The maximum compression in the spring is proportional to

$A$ body of mass $2.9 \, kg$ is suspended from a string of length $2.5 \, m$ and is at rest. $A$ bullet of mass $100 \, g$ strikes the block horizontally with velocity $150 \, m/s$ and sticks to it. What is the maximum angle made by the string with the vertical after the impact? (Given $g = 10 \, m/s^2$)
