$A$ neutron moving with velocity $u$ collides elastically with a stationary atom of mass number $A$. If the collision is head-on and the initial kinetic energy of the neutron is $E$, then the final kinetic energy of the neutron after the collision is:

  • A
    ${\left( {\frac{{A + 1}}{{A - 1}}} \right)^2}E$
  • B
    ${\left( {\frac{{A - 1}}{{A + 1}}} \right)^2}E$
  • C
    $\left( {\frac{{A - 1}}{{A + 1}}} \right)E$
  • D
    $\left( {\frac{{A + 1}}{{A - 1}}} \right)E$

$A$ particle of mass $m_1$ collides with a particle of mass $m_2$ at rest. After the elastic collision,the two particles move at an angle of $90^{\circ}$ with respect to each other. The ratio $\frac{m_2}{m_1}$ is

$Assertion$ : If collision occurs between two elastic bodies,their kinetic energy decreases during the time of collision.
$Reason$ : During collision,intermolecular space decreases and hence elastic potential energy increases.

As shown in the figure,a pendulum $A$ is released from an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the vertical and strikes a pendulum $B$ of equal mass. After the collision,to what height (in $m$) will pendulum $A$ rise? Neglect the size of the pendulum and assume the collision is perfectly elastic.

$A$ body of mass $1\,kg$ collides head-on elastically with a stationary body of mass $3\,kg$. After the collision,the smaller body reverses its direction of motion and moves with a speed of $2\,m/s$. The initial speed of the smaller body before the collision is $..........\,m/s$.

$A$ body of mass $2\,kg$ makes an elastic collision with a second body of mass $m$ at rest and continues to move in the original direction but with one-fourth of its original speed. What is the mass of the second body? ................ $kg$
