$A$ particle of mass $m$ collides with a heavy mass $M$ (initially at rest) elastically. After the collision, the particle returns with $4/9$ of its initial kinetic energy. The mass of the heavy object $M$ is ............... $m$.

$A$ 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:

When does the maximum energy transfer occur during an elastic collision?

$A$ ball of mass $2m$ and a system of two balls with equal masses $m$ connected by a massless spring are placed on a smooth horizontal surface (see figure). Initially, the ball of mass $2m$ moves with velocity $u_0$ along the line passing through the centres of all the balls and the spring, whereas the system of two balls is at rest. Assuming that the collision between the individual balls is perfectly elastic, the ratio of vibrational energy stored in the system of two connected balls to the initial kinetic energy of the ball of mass $2m$ is

In an elastic collision of two particles,which of the following quantities is conserved?

Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$. Three identical spheres of same mass undergo one-dimensional motion as shown in the figure with initial velocities $v_{A} = 5 \ m/s$,$v_{B} = 2 \ m/s$,$v_{C} = 4 \ m/s$. If we wait sufficiently long for elastic collisions to happen,then $v_{A} = 4 \ m/s$,$v_{B} = 2 \ m/s$,$v_{C} = 5 \ m/s$ will be the final velocities.
Reason $(R)$: In an elastic collision between identical masses,two objects exchange their velocities. In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:
