  • A
    $1/2$ of initial kinetic energy
  • B
    $1/9$ of initial kinetic energy
  • C
    $8/9$ of initial kinetic energy

$A$ ball of mass $m$ moving with velocity $v$ undergoes an elastic collision with another ball of the same mass $m$ moving in the opposite direction with velocity $2v$. What will be their velocities after the collision?

$A$ ball falls from a height of $5\,m$ and strikes the roof of a lift. If at the time of collision,the lift is moving in the upward direction with a velocity of $1\,m/s$,then the velocity with which the ball rebounds after collision will be (assume $e = 1$):
