$A$ 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:

  • A
    $2 \, m/s$ in the original direction
  • B
    $2 \, m/s$ opposite to the original direction
  • C
    $4 \, m/s$ opposite to the original direction
  • D
    $4 \, m/s$ in the original direction

$A$ billiard ball moving with a speed of $5 \, m/s$ collides with an identical ball originally at rest. If the first ball stops after collision,then the second ball will move forward with a speed of ........... $m/s$.

There is a head-on elastic collision between two particles moving in the same direction with speeds $5 \,m/s$ and $3 \,m/s$ respectively. After the collision,the velocity of the first particle becomes $4 \,m/s$ in the same direction. What is the velocity of the second particle?

The bob of a simple pendulum (mass $m$ and length $l$) is dropped from a horizontal position. It strikes a block of the same mass $m$ placed on a horizontal frictionless table. The collision is elastic. The kinetic energy of the block after the collision will be

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.
