Two particles of equal mass start moving in opposite directions from point $A$ in a horizontal circular path. Their tangential velocities are $v$ and $2v$ respectively,as shown in the figure. At the time of collision,the particles move with the same speed. How many elastic collisions must occur after the first one so that these two particles reach point $A$ again?

Two balls,having linear momenta $\vec{p}_1 = p \hat{i}$ and $\vec{p}_2 = -p \hat{i}$,undergo a collision in free space. There is no external force acting on the balls. Let $\vec{p}_1^{\prime}$ and $\vec{p}_2^{\prime}$ be their final momenta. Which of the following option$(s)$ is (are) $NOT ALLOWED$ for any non-zero value of $p, a_1, a_2, b_1, b_2, c_1$ and $c_2$?
$(A)$ $\vec{p}_1^{\prime} = a_1 \hat{i} + b_1 \hat{j} + c_1 \hat{k}$,$\vec{p}_2^{\prime} = a_2 \hat{i} + b_2 \hat{j}$
$(B)$ $\vec{p}_1^{\prime} = c_1 \hat{k}$,$\vec{p}_2^{\prime} = c_2 \hat{k}$
$(C)$ $\vec{p}_1^{\prime} = a_1 \hat{i} + b_1 \hat{j} + c_1 \hat{k}$,$\vec{p}_2^{\prime} = a_2 \hat{i} + b_2 \hat{j} - c_1 \hat{k}$
$(D)$ $\vec{p}_1^{\prime} = a_1 \hat{i} + b_1 \hat{j}$,$\vec{p}_2^{\prime} = a_2 \hat{i} + b_1 \hat{j}$

$A$ truck of mass $M$ and a car of mass $\frac{M}{10}$ moving with the same momentum are brought to a halt by the application of the same braking force. The ratio of the distances travelled by the truck and the car before they come to a stop is

$A$ person of mass $60 \, kg$ wants to lose $5 \, kg$ by going up and down a $10 \, m$ high stairs. Assume he burns twice as much fat while going up than coming down. If $1 \, kg$ of fat is burnt on expending $7000 \, kcal$,how many times must he go up and down to reduce his weight by $5 \, kg$?

$A$ raindrop of mass $1.00 \, g$ falling from a height of $1 \, km$ hits the ground with a speed of $50 \, m s^{-1}$. Calculate
$(a)$ the loss of $PE$ of the drop
$(b)$ the gain in $KE$ of the drop
$(c)$ Is the gain in $KE$ equal to loss of $PE$? If not,why?
Take $g = 10 \, m s^{-2}$.

$A$ particle of mass $m$ moving horizontally with velocity $v_0$ strikes a smooth wedge of mass $M$,as shown in the figure. After the collision,the particle starts moving up the inclined face of the wedge and rises to a height $h$. The final velocity of the wedge $v_2$ is
