$A$ uniform rod of mass $M$ and length $L$ is placed on a smooth horizontal surface. $A$ particle of mass $m$ strikes the rod at one end with a velocity $v$ perpendicular to the rod. If the particle comes to rest after the collision,the velocity of the center of mass of the rod after the collision is:

  • A
    $v/2$
  • B
    $mv/M$
  • C
    $mv/(M+m)$
  • D
    $v$

$A$ ball hits the floor and rebounds after an inelastic collision. In this case:

Two identical balls $P$ and $Q$ moving in the $x-y$ plane collide at the origin $(x=0, y=0)$ of the coordinate system. Their velocity components just before the moment of impact were,for ball $P$,$v_x = 6 \ m/s, v_y = 0$; for ball $Q$,$v_x = -5 \ m/s, v_y = 2 \ m/s$. As a result of the collision,ball $P$ comes to rest. The velocity components of ball $Q$ just after the collision will be:
