This question has Statement-$1$ and Statement-$2$. Of the four choices given after the statements, choose the one that best describes the two statements.
Statement-$1$: $A$ point particle of mass $m$ moving with speed $u$ collides with a stationary point particle of mass $M$. If the maximum energy loss possible is given as $f \left( \frac{1}{2} m u^2 \right)$, then $f = \left( \frac{m}{M + m} \right)$.
Statement-$2$: Maximum energy loss occurs when the particles get stuck together as a result of the collision.

  • A
    Statement-$1$ is true, Statement-$2$ is true; Statement-$2$ is the correct explanation of Statement-$1$.
  • B
    Statement-$1$ is true, Statement-$2$ is true; Statement-$2$ is not the correct explanation of Statement-$1$.
  • C
    Statement-$1$ is false, Statement-$2$ is true.
  • D
    Statement-$1$ is true, Statement-$2$ is false.

$A$ baseball having mass of $0.4 \ kg$ is thrown such that one of the forces acting on it varies with time as shown in the first graph. Also,the velocity of the ball is in the same direction as the force. The velocity varies with time as shown in the second graph. Choose the incorrect option (up to $0.3 \ s$).

Particle $A$ of mass $m_{1}$ moving with velocity $(\sqrt{3} \hat{i} + \hat{j}) \, m/s$ collides with another particle $B$ of mass $m_{2}$ which is at rest initially. Let $\vec{V}_{1}$ and $\vec{V}_{2}$ be the velocities of particles $A$ and $B$ after collision,respectively. If $m_{1} = 2m_{2}$ and after collision $\vec{V}_{1} = (\hat{i} + \sqrt{3} \hat{j}) \, m/s$,the angle between $\vec{V}_{1}$ and $\vec{V}_{2}$ is $......^{\circ}$.

$A$ block of mass $m(=0.1 \ kg)$ is hanging over a frictionless light fixed pulley by an inextensible string of negligible mass. The other end of the string is pulled by a constant force $F$ in the vertically downward direction. The linear momentum of the block increases by $2 \ kg \ m/s$ in $1 \ s$ after the block starts from rest. Then, (given $g=10 \ m/s^2$):
