    $1: 25$
  • B
    $1: 5$
  • C
    $5: 1$

In the elastic collision of objects,

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is moving with a horizontal speed of $6 \, m/s$ as shown in the figure. If $m << M$,then for a one-dimensional elastic collision,the speed of the lighter particle after the collision will be:

Assertion $(A)$: In an elastic collision of two billiard balls,both kinetic energy and linear momentum remain conserved.
Reason $(R)$: During the collision of the balls,as the collision is elastic,there is no exchange of energy. Therefore,both energy and momentum are conserved.

$A$ molecule of mass $m$ moving with velocity $v$ makes $5$ elastic collisions with a wall of a container per second. The change in momentum of the wall per second in $5$ collisions will be:
