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
    $45$
  • B
    $90$
  • C
    $135$

$A$ ball of mass $m$ moving with speed $v$ collides elastically with an identical stationary ball which is initially at rest. After collision,the first ball moves at an angle $\theta$ to its initial direction and has speed $(v/3)$. The second ball moves in a straight line after the collision. Then,the speed of the second ball after the collision is:

$A$ particle of mass $m$ moving with velocity $u$ makes an elastic one-dimensional collision with a stationary particle of mass $m$. They are in contact for a very short time $T$.
