In an elastic collision between disks $A$ and $B$ of equal mass but unequal radii,$A$ moves along the $x$-axis and $B$ is stationary before impact. Which of the following is possible after impact?

  • A
    $A$ comes to rest
  • B
    The velocity of $B$ relative to $A$ remains the same in magnitude but reverses in direction
  • C
    $A$ and $B$ move with equal speeds,making an angle of $45^{\circ}$ each with the $x$-axis
  • D
    All of the above

If a shell fired from a cannon explodes in mid-air,then which of the following is true?

An object of mass $m$ is sliding down a hill of arbitrary shape and after traveling a certain horizontal path stops because of friction. The friction coefficient is different for different segments of the entire path but it is independent of the velocity and direction of motion. The work done that a force must perform to return the object to its initial position along the same path would be:

$A$ 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 $m/s$)

The friction coefficient between the horizontal surface and each of the blocks shown in the figure is $\mu = 0.2$. The collision between the blocks is perfectly elastic. What is the separation between the blocks when they come to rest? (in $cm$)
