$A$ 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
    $5$
  • B
    $1$/$5$
  • C
    $1$/$25$
  • D
    $25$

On a frictionless surface,a block of mass $M$ moving at speed $V$ collides elastically with another block of same mass $M$ which is initially at rest. After collision,the first block moves at an angle $\theta$ to its initial direction and has a speed $\frac{V}{3}$. The second block's speed after the collision is:

$A$ smooth sphere $A$ is moving on a frictionless horizontal plane with an angular velocity $\omega$ and its center of mass is moving with a linear velocity $v$. It undergoes an elastic collision with a stationary sphere $B$. (Ignore friction everywhere). If the angular speeds after the collision are $\omega_A$ and $\omega_B$ respectively,then:
