  • A
    $\frac{1-e}{1+e}$
  • B
    $\frac{1+e}{1-e}$
  • C
    $\frac{e+1}{e-1}$
  • D
    $\frac{e-1}{e+1}$

$A$ block of mass $m$ moving on a frictionless surface at speed $v$ collides elastically with a block of the same mass,initially at rest. Now,the first block moves at an angle $\theta$ with its initial direction and has speed $v_1$. The speed of the second block after the collision is

Two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ moving with velocities $v_1$ and $v_2$ in opposite directions collide elastically and after collision masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ move with velocity $v_2$ and $v_1$ respectively. The ratio $\left(\frac{m_2}{m_1}\right)$ is

$A$ 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
