$A$ block of mass $4 m$ travelling at a velocity $v_1$ in the $x$-direction on a frictionless horizontal plane makes a head-on collision with another block of mass $2 m$ travelling in the opposite direction with a velocity $v_2$. After the collision,both blocks travel as a single block along the $x$-direction with a final velocity $5 v_2$. The ratio of velocities $\frac{v_1}{v_2}$ is

  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $3$
  • C
    $5$

$A$ particle of mass $m$ moving towards west with speed $v$ collides with another particle of mass $m$ moving towards south. If the two particles stick to each other,the speed of the new particle of mass $2m$ will be ..........

Find the correct option based on the two statements given below.
Statement-$1$ : Two particles moving in the same direction do not lose all their energy in a perfectly inelastic collision.
Statement-$2$ : The law of conservation of linear momentum is obeyed for all types of collisions.

Two bodies of the same mass $m$ are moving with the same speed $v_0$,but in different directions in a plane. They undergo a completely inelastic collision and move together thereafter with a final speed which is half of their initial speed. The angle between the initial velocities of the two bodies (in degrees) is:

In a one-dimensional collision, a particle of mass $2m$ collides with a particle of mass $m$ at rest. If the particles stick together after the collision, what fraction of the initial kinetic energy is lost in the collision?
