$A$ block having mass $m$ collides with another stationary block having mass $2m$. The lighter block comes to rest after the collision. If the initial velocity of the first block is $v$,then the value of the coefficient of restitution must be:

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$: Body $P$ having mass $M$ moving with speed $u$ has a head-on elastic collision with another body $Q$ having mass $m$ initially at rest. If $m << M$,body $Q$ will have a maximum speed equal to $2u$ after the collision.
Reason $R$: During an elastic collision,the momentum and kinetic energy are both conserved.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Derive the expressions for the velocities of two bodies after a one-dimensional elastic collision.

$A$ 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:

It is found that if a neutron suffers an elastic collinear collision with deuterium at rest,the fractional loss of its energy is $P_d$; while for its similar collision with a carbon nucleus at rest,the fractional loss of energy is $P_c$. The values of $P_d$ and $P_c$ are respectively:
