Three blocks are initially placed as shown in the figure. Block $A$ has mass $m$ and initial velocity $v$ to the right. Block $B$ with mass $m$ and block $C$ with mass $4m$ are both initially at rest. Neglect friction. All collisions are elastic. The final velocity of block $A$ is

  • A
    $0.6v$ to the left
  • B
    $1.4v$ to the left
  • C
    $0$ (at rest)
  • D
    $0.4v$ to the right

Two small particles of equal masses start moving in opposite directions from a point $A$ in a horizontal circular orbit. Their tangential velocities are $v$ and $2v$,respectively,as shown in the figure. Between collisions,the particles move with constant speeds. After making how many elastic collisions,other than that at $A$,will these two particles again reach the point $A$?

There are $n$ elastic balls placed on a smooth horizontal plane. The masses of the balls are $m, \frac{m}{2}, \frac{m}{2^2}, \ldots, \frac{m}{2^{n-1}}$ respectively. If the first ball hits the second ball with velocity $v_0$, then the velocity of the $n^{\text{th}}$ ball will be,

The rebound coefficient between a tennis ball and a racket is defined as $e = v_2/v_1$,where $v_1$ is the incoming speed of the ball and $v_2$ is the speed of the ball after rebound while the racket is at rest. $A$ tennis ball falls from height $H$ to a racket at rest and bounces back to $0.8 H$. $A$ tennis player is using the racket to hit an incoming tennis ball traveling at $150 \ km/hr$ and the racket is moving at $100 \ km/hr$ towards the ball. What is the speed of the ball after being hit? (Assume the mass of the racket $\gg$ that of the ball).
