$A$ smooth sphere $A$ moves on a frictionless horizontal surface with an angular velocity $\omega$ and a linear velocity $v$ of its center of mass. It undergoes an elastic collision with another identical sphere $B$ at rest. Neglecting friction everywhere,if the angular speeds after the collision are $\omega_A$ and $\omega_B$ respectively,then:

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is moving with a horizontal speed of $6 \, m/s$ as shown in the figure. If $m << M$,then for a one-dimensional elastic collision,the speed of the lighter particle after the collision will be:

There are $n$ elastic balls placed on a smooth horizontal plane. The masses of the balls are $m, \frac{m}{2}, \frac{m}{2^2}, \ldots, \frac{m}{2^{n-1}}$ respectively. If the first ball hits the second ball with velocity $v_0$, then the velocity of the $n^{\text{th}}$ ball will be,
