$A$ shell is fired from a cannon with velocity $v \text{ m/s}$ at an angle $\theta$ with the horizontal direction. At the highest point in its path,it explodes into two pieces of equal mass. One of the pieces retraces its path to the cannon. The speed in $\text{m/s}$ of the other piece immediately after the explosion is:

  • A
    $3v \cos \theta$
  • B
    $2v \cos \theta$
  • C
    $\frac{3}{2}v \cos \theta$
  • D
    $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}v \cos \theta$

$A$ large block of wood of mass $M = 5.99 \, kg$ is hanging from two long massless cords. $A$ bullet of mass $m = 10 \, g$ is fired into the block and gets embedded in it. The (block $+$ bullet) then swing upwards,their centre of mass rising a vertical distance $h = 9.8 \, cm$ before the (block $+$ bullet) pendulum comes momentarily to rest at the end of its arc. The speed of the bullet just before collision is: (Take $g = 9.8 \, ms^{-2}$) (in $m/s$)

$A$ bob of mass $m$,suspended by a string of length $l_1$,is given a minimum velocity required to complete a full circle in the vertical plane. At the highest point,it collides elastically with another bob of mass $m$ suspended by a string of length $l_2$,which is initially at rest. Both the strings are massless and inextensible. If the second bob,after collision,acquires the minimum speed required to complete a full circle in the vertical plane,the ratio $\frac{l_1}{l_2}$ is

Consider a one-dimensional collision involving a body of mass $m_1$ moving in the positive $x$ direction with speed $v_0$ and a second body of mass $m_2$ initially at rest. The collision can be completely inelastic,completely elastic,or partially inelastic. After the collision,$m_1$ moves with velocity $v_1$ and $m_2$ moves with velocity $v_2$. Determine the range of final velocity $v_1$ for the following cases:
$(A)$ If $m_1 > m_2$
$(B)$ If $m_1 < m_2$
