In a one-dimensional collision between two particles,their relative velocity is $\vec{v}_1$ before the collision and $\vec{v}_2$ after the collision.

  • A
    $\vec{v}_1 = \vec{v}_2$ if the collision is elastic
  • B
    $\vec{v}_1 = -\vec{v}_2$ if the collision is elastic
  • C
    $\vec{v}_1 = -k \vec{v}_2$ in all cases,where $k \geq 1$
  • D
    Both $(B)$ and $(C)$

Two statements are given below. Select the option that correctly explains both statements.
Statement-$1$: In a perfectly elastic collision between two particles moving in the same direction,they do not lose all their energy.

The velocity of the bullet becomes one-third after it penetrates $4 \ cm$ in a wooden block. Assuming that the bullet faces a constant resistance during its motion in the block,the bullet stops completely after traveling a total distance of $(4+x) \ cm$ inside the block. The value of $x$ is $.....$ (in $cm$)

If a skater of mass $3 \,kg$ has an initial speed of $32 \,m/s$ and a second skater of mass $4 \,kg$ has a speed of $5 \,m/s$. After a perfectly inelastic collision,they move together with a speed of $5 \,m/s$. Calculate the loss in kinetic energy.

Two bodies $A$ and $B$ of masses $m$ and $2m$ respectively are placed on a smooth floor. They are connected by a spring. $A$ third body $C$ of mass $m$ moves with velocity $V_0$ along the line joining $A$ and $B$ and collides elastically with $A$ as shown in the figure. At a certain instant of time $t_0$ after the collision,it is found that the instantaneous velocities of $A$ and $B$ are the same. Further,at this instant,the compression of the spring is found to be $x_0$. Determine the spring constant $k$.
