When a moving body collides with a stationary body of $n$ times its mass,then the amount of kinetic energy transferred to the stationary body is

  • A
    $\frac{4 n}{(1+n)^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{n}{(1+n)^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{n^2}{(1+n)^2}$
  • D
    $\frac{4 n^2}{(1+n)^2}$

Four smooth steel balls of equal mass at rest are free to move along a straight line without friction. The first ball is given a velocity of $0.4\, m/s$. It collides head-on with the second elastically,the second one similarly with the third and so on. The velocity of the last ball is .............. $m/s$.

When does the maximum energy transfer occur during an elastic collision?

$STATEMENT-1$: In an elastic collision between two bodies, the relative speed of the bodies after collision is equal to the relative speed before the collision. Because
$STATEMENT-2$: In an elastic collision, the linear momentum of the system is conserved.

$A$ particle of mass $1\, kg$ moving with velocity $1\, m/s$,collides elastically with another particle of mass $m$ initially at rest. In the collision,the particle of mass $1\, kg$ loses $\frac{3}{4}$ of its kinetic energy $(K.E.)$. The value of $m$ is:

Consider the collision depicted in the figure to be between two billiard balls with equal masses $m_{1} = m_{2}$. The first ball is called the cue, while the second ball is called the target. The billiard player wants to 'sink' the target ball in a corner pocket, which is at an angle $\theta_{2} = 37^{\circ}$. Assume that the collision is elastic and that friction and rotational motion are not important. Obtain $\theta_{1}$.
