Which one of the following statements does not hold good when two balls of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ undergo elastic collision?

  • A
    When $m_1 < m_2$ and $m_2$ is at rest,there will be maximum transfer of momentum.
  • B
    When $m_1 > m_2$ and $m_2$ is at rest,after collision the ball of mass $m_2$ moves with four times the velocity of $m_1$.
  • C
    When $m_1 = m_2$ and $m_2$ is at rest,there will be maximum transfer of $K.E$.
  • D
    When the collision is oblique and $m_2$ is at rest with $m_1 = m_2$,after collision the balls move in opposite directions.

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).
