$A$ particle of mass $m$ moving with velocity $u$ makes an elastic one-dimensional collision with a stationary particle of mass $m$. They are in contact for a very short time $T$. Their force of interaction increases from zero to $F_0$ linearly in time $T/2$, and decreases linearly to zero in further time $T/2$. The magnitude of $F_0$ is

  • A
    $mu/T$
  • B
    $2mu/T$
  • C
    $mu/2T$
  • D
    None of these

$A$ ball $A$ of mass $m$ moving along the positive $x$-direction with kinetic energy $K$ and momentum $p$ undergoes an elastic head-on collision with a stationary ball $B$ of mass $M$. After the collision,the ball $A$ moves along the negative $x$-direction with kinetic energy $K/9$. The final momentum of $B$ is:

On a frictionless surface,a block of mass $M$ moving at speed $V$ collides elastically with another block of same mass $M$ which is initially at rest. After collision,the first block moves at an angle $\theta$ to its initial direction and has a speed $\frac{V}{3}$. The second block's speed after the collision is:

$A$ particle $P$ moving with speed $v$ undergoes a head-on elastic collision with another particle $Q$ of identical mass but at rest. After the collision:

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:

Two identical balls $A$ and $B$ having velocities of $0.5 \, m s^{-1}$ and $-0.3 \, m s^{-1}$ respectively collide elastically in one dimension. The velocities of $B$ and $A$ after the collision respectively will be
