$A$ ball $A$ of mass $m$ moving along the positive $x$-direction with kinetic energy $K$ and momentum $p$ undergoes an elastic head-on collision with a stationary ball $B$ of mass $M$. After the collision,the ball $A$ moves along the negative $x$-direction with kinetic energy $K/9$. The final momentum of $B$ is:

In a carrom-board game,the striker and the coins are identical and of mass $m$. In a particular hit,the coin is hit when it is placed close to the edge of the board as shown in the figure,such that the coin travels parallel to the edge after the collision. If the striker is moving with speed $v$ before the strike,then the net impulse on the striker during the collision,if it moves perpendicular to the edge after the collision,is (assume all collisions to be perfectly elastic):

$A$ smooth sphere $A$ moves on a frictionless horizontal surface with an angular velocity $\omega$ and a linear velocity $v$ of its center of mass. It undergoes an elastic collision with another identical sphere $B$ at rest. Neglecting friction everywhere,if the angular speeds after the collision are $\omega_A$ and $\omega_B$ respectively,then:

$A$ ball $A$ collides elastically with another identical ball $B$ initially at rest. Ball $A$ is moving with a velocity of $10 \, m/s$ at an angle of $60^o$ from the line joining their centers. Select the correct alternative:
