Three objects $A$,$B$,and $C$ are kept in a straight line on a frictionless horizontal surface. These have masses $m$,$2m$,and $m$,respectively. The object $A$ moves towards $B$ with a speed of $9 \ m/s$ and makes an elastic collision with it. Thereafter,$B$ makes a completely inelastic collision with $C$. All motions occur on the same straight line. Find the final speed (in $m/s$) of the object $C$.

  • A
    $9$
  • B
    $5$
  • C
    $4$
  • D

$A$ wooden block of mass $M$ is suspended by a cord and is at rest. $A$ bullet of mass $m$,moving with a velocity $v$,passes through the block and emerges with a velocity $v/2$ in the same direction. If the block rises to a height $h$,calculate the value of $h$.

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is projected with a speed $u$ from the ground at an angle $\theta = \frac{\pi}{3}$ w.r.t. horizontal ($x$-axis). When it has reached its maximum height,it collides completely inelastically with another particle of the same mass and velocity $u \hat{i}$. The horizontal distance covered by the combined mass before reaching the ground is

From a building, two balls $A$ and $B$ are thrown such that $A$ is thrown upwards and $B$ is thrown downwards (both vertically) with the same speed. If $v_A$ and $v_B$ are their respective velocities on reaching the ground, then:

Three blocks $A, B$ and $C$ are lying on a smooth horizontal surface,as shown in the figure. $A$ and $B$ have equal masses $m$,while $C$ has mass $M$. Block $A$ is given an initial speed $v$ towards $B$,due to which it collides with $B$ perfectly inelastically. The combined mass then collides with $C$,also perfectly inelastically. If $5/6^{th}$ of the initial kinetic energy is lost in the whole process,what is the value of $M/m$?

$A$ $15 \,g$ ball is shot from a spring gun whose spring has a force constant of $600 \,N/m$. The spring is compressed by $5 \,cm$. The greatest possible horizontal range of the ball for this compression is .... $m$ $(g = 10 \,m/s^2)$ (in $.0$)
