$A$ body of mass $m_1$ moving with an unknown velocity $v_1 \hat{i}$ undergoes a one-dimensional collision with a body of mass $m_2$ moving with velocity $v_2 \hat{i}$. After the collision,the bodies $m_1$ and $m_2$ move with velocities $v_3 \hat{i}$ and $v_4 \hat{i}$ respectively. If $m_2 = 0.5\, m_1$ and $v_3 = 0.5\, v_1$,find $v_1$.

In a one-dimensional collision between two particles,their relative velocity is $\vec{v}_1$ before the collision and $\vec{v}_2$ after the collision.

$A$ small ball of mass $m$ starts at a point $A$ with speed $v_0$ and moves along a frictionless track $AB$ as shown. The track $BC$ has a coefficient of friction $\mu$. The ball comes to a stop at $C$ after traveling a distance $L$. The value of $L$ is:

Consider a rubber ball freely falling from a height $h = 4.9\, m$ on a horizontal elastic plate. Assume that the duration of collision is negligible and the collision with the plate is totally elastic. Which one of the following graphs represents the velocity as a function of time and the height as a function of time?
