Two spheres $S_1$ and $S_2$ of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ respectively collide with each other. Initially, $S_1$ is at rest and $S_2$ is moving with velocity $v$ along the $x$-axis. After the collision, $S_2$ has a velocity $\frac{v}{2}$ in a direction perpendicular to the original direction. The sphere $S_1$ moves after the collision:

  • A
    with a velocity of magnitude $\frac{m_2}{m_1} v \frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}$
  • B
    with a velocity in the direction $\theta = \tan^{-1}\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)$ to the $x$-axis
  • C
    with a velocity whose direction makes an angle $\theta$ with the $x$-axis such that $\theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)$ or $\theta = \tan^{-1}\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)$
  • D
    with a velocity of magnitude $\frac{m_1}{2m_2} v \sqrt{5}$

$A$ ball of mass $10\, kg$ moving with a velocity $10 \sqrt{3} \, m/s$ along the $x$-axis,hits another ball of mass $20\, kg$ which is at rest. After the collision,the first ball comes to rest while the second ball disintegrates into two equal pieces. One piece starts moving along the $y$-axis with a speed of $10 \, m/s$. The second piece starts moving at an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with respect to the $x$-axis. The velocity of the ball moving at $30^{\circ}$ with the $x$-axis is $x \, m/s$. The configuration of pieces after the collision is shown in the figure. The value of $x$ to the nearest integer is:

Three objects $A, B$,and $C$ are placed on a frictionless horizontal surface. Their masses are $m, 2m$,and $m$ respectively. Object $A$ moves towards $B$ with a speed of $9 \ m/s$ and undergoes an elastic collision with it. Subsequently,$B$ undergoes a perfectly inelastic collision with $C$. All motion occurs along the same straight line. What will be the final speed of object $C$ in $m/s$?
