The bob $A$ of a pendulum,released from a horizontal position to the vertical,hits another bob $B$ of the same mass at rest on a table as shown in the figure. If the length of the pendulum is $1\,m$,calculate:
$(a)$ The height to which bob $A$ will rise after the collision.
$(b)$ The speed with which bob $B$ starts moving.
Neglect the size of the bobs and assume the collision to be elastic.

After a head-on elastic collision between two balls of equal masses,one is observed to have a speed of $3\,m/s$ along the positive $x$-axis and the other has a speed of $2\,m/s$ along the negative $x$-axis. What were the original velocities of the balls?

$A$ truck moving on a horizontal road towards the east with a velocity of $20\, ms^{-1}$ collides elastically with a light ball moving with a velocity of $25\, ms^{-1}$ towards the west. What is the velocity of the ball just after the collision?

$A$ moving body with a mass $m_1$ and velocity $u$ strikes a stationary body of mass $m_2$. The masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ should be in the ratio $\frac{m_1}{m_2}$,so as to decrease the velocity of the first body to $\frac{2u}{3}$ and give a velocity of $v$ to $m_2$,assuming a perfectly elastic impact. Then,the ratio $\frac{m_1}{m_2}$ is

$A$ body of mass $m$ having an initial velocity $v$,makes a head-on collision with a stationary body of mass $M$. After the collision,the body of mass $m$ comes to rest and only the body having mass $M$ moves. This will happen only when:
