$A$ particle of mass $m$ with an initial velocity $u\hat{i}$ collides perfectly elastically with a mass $3m$ at rest. It moves with a velocity $v\hat{j}$ after collision. Then, $v$ is given by:

  • A
    $v=\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}} u$
  • B
    $v =\frac{1}{\sqrt{6}} u$
  • C
    $v=\frac{u}{\sqrt{3}}$
  • D
    $v=\frac{u}{\sqrt{2}}$

$A$ steel ball of radius $2 \,cm$ is at rest on a frictionless surface. Another steel ball of radius $4 \,cm$ moving with velocity of $81 \,cm \,s^{-1}$ collides elastically with the ball which is at rest. After collision, the ball with radius of $2 \,cm$ moves with a speed of:

$A$ body of mass $M$ moving at speed $V_{0}$ collides elastically with a mass $m$ at rest. After the collision,the two masses move at angles $\theta_{1}$ and $\theta_{2}$ with respect to the initial direction of motion of the body of mass $M$. The largest possible value of the ratio $M/m$,for which the angles $\theta_{1}$ and $\theta_{2}$ will be equal,is:
