An object is dropped from a height $h$ from the ground. Every time it hits the ground,it loses $50\%$ of its kinetic energy. The total distance covered as $t \to \infty$ is

  • A
    $3\,h$
  • B
    $\infty$
  • C
    $\frac{5}{3}\,h$
  • D
    $\frac{8}{3}\,h$

$A$ ball of mass $m$ moving with a velocity of $9 \ m/s$ collides with another ball of the same mass $m$ at rest. After the collision,both balls move at an angle of $30^\circ$ with the original direction of motion. Find the velocity $v$ of both balls after the collision. (in $m/s$)

$A$ $2 \,kg$ ball moving at $24 \,ms^{-1}$ undergoes inelastic head-on collision with a $4 \,kg$ ball moving in the opposite direction at $48 \,ms^{-1}$. If the coefficient of restitution is $2/3$, their velocities in $ms^{-1}$ after impact are

$A$ bullet of mass $m$ and speed $v$ hits a pendulum bob of mass $M$ at time $t_1$,and passes completely through the bob. The bullet emerges at time $t_2$ with a speed of $v/2$. The pendulum bob is suspended by a stiff rod of length $l$ and negligible mass. After the collision,the bob can barely swing through a complete vertical circle. At time $t_3$,the bob reaches the highest position. What quantities are conserved in this process?

$A$ ball moving with a velocity of $6\, m/s$ strikes an identical stationary ball. After collision,each ball moves at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the original line of motion. What are the speeds of the balls after the collision?
